Get started for freeAn alpha particle (a He nucleus containing two protons and two neutrons and having a mass of ) travelling horizontally at enter a uniform, vertical, magnetic field.(a) What is the diameter of the path followed by this alpha particle? (b) what effect does the magnetic field have on the speed of the particle? (c) What are the magnitude and direction of the acceleration of the alpha particle while it is in the magnetic field? (d) explain why the speed of the particle does not change even though an unbalanced external force acts on it.
The text states that good thermal conductors are also good electrical conductors. If so, why don’t the cords used to connect toasters, irons, and similar heat-producing appliances get hot by conduction of heat from the heating element?
A fuse is a device designed to break a circuit, usually by melting when the current exceeds a certain value. What characteristics should the material of the fuse have?
The energy that can be extracted from a storage battery is always less than the energy that goes into it while it is being charged. Why?
