Unreasonable Results A charged particle having mass 6.641027kg (that of a helium atom) moving at 8.70105m/s perpendicular to a 1.50T magnetic field travels in a circular path of radius 16.0 mm. (a) What is the charge of the particle? (b) What is unreasonable about this result? (c) Which assumptions are responsible?
A particle’s path is bent when it passes through a region of non-zero magnetic field although its speed remains unchanged. This is very useful for “beam steering’’ in particle accelerators. Consider a proton of speed 4106m/s entering a region of uniform magnetic field 0.2 T over a 5-cm-wide region. Magnetic field is perpendicular to the velocity of the particle. By how much angle will the path of the proton be bent? (Hint: the particle comes out tangent to a circle.
(a) Aircraft sometimes acquire small static charges, Suppose a supersonic jet has a 0.500C charge and flies due west at a speed of 660.m/s over Earth’s south magnetic pole, where the 8.00105T -T magnetic field points straight down into the ground, What are the direction and the magnitude of the magnetic force on the plane? fb) Discuss whether the value obtained in part (a) implies this is a significant or negligible effect,
A particle with electric charge is fired into a region of space where the electric field is zero. It moves in a straight line. Can you conclude that the magnetic field in that region is zero? (a) Yes, you can. (b) No; the field might be perpendicular to the particles velocity. (c) No; the field might be parallel to the particles velocity. (d) No; the particle might need to have charge of the opposite sign to have a force exerted on it. (e) No; an observation of an object with electric charge gives no information about a magnetic field.
Find the direction of the magnetic field acting on a positively charged particle moving in the various situations shown in Figure P28.3 if the direction of the magnetic force acting on it is as indicated. Figure P28.3
(a) What is the angle between a wire carrying an 8.00-A current and the 1.20-T field it is in if 50.0 cm of the wire experiences a magnetic force of 2.40 N? (b) What is the force on the wire if it is rotated to make an angle of 90° with the field?
A charged particle is traveling through a uniform magnetic field. Which of the following statements are true of the magnetic field? There may be more than one correct statement. (a) It exerts a force on the particle parallel to the field. (b) It exerts a force on the particle along the direction of its motion. (c) It increases the kinetic energy of the particle. (d) It exerts a force that is perpendicular to the direction of motion. (e) It does not change the magnitude of the momentum of the particle.
What is the direction of the magnetic force on a positive charge that moves as shown in each of the six cases shown in Figure 22.59?
An oxygen ion (O+) moves in the xy-plane with a speed of 2.50 103 m/s. If a constant magnetic field is directed along the z-axis with a magnitude of 2.00 105 T, find (a) the magnitude of the magnetic force acting on the ion and (b) the magnitude of the ions acceleration.
A proton of speed v=6105m/s enters a region of uniform magnetic field of B = 0.5 T at an angle of q = 30° to the magnetic field. In the region of magnetic field proton describes a helical path with radius R and pitch p (distance between loops.) Find R and p.
You are working for a company that creates special magnetic environments. Your new supervisor has come from the financial side of the organization rather than the technical side. He has promised a client that the company can provide a device that will create a magnetic field inside a cylindrical chamber that is directed along the cylinder axis at all points in the chamber and increases in the axial direction as the square of the value of y, where y is the in the axial direction and y = 0 is at the bottom end of the cylinder. Prepare a calculation to show that the field requested by your supervisor and promised to a client is impossible.
A singly charged ion of mass m is accelerated from rest by a potential difference V. It is then deflected by a uniform magnetic field (perpendicular to the ions velocity) into a semicircle of radius R. Now a doubly charged ion of mass m' is accelerated through the same potential difference and dellected by the same magnetic field into a semicircle of radius R' = 2R. What is the ratio of the masses of the ions?
