- 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?arrow_forwardA spacecraft is in 4 circular orbit of radius equal to 3.0 104 km around a 2.0 1030 kg pulsar. The magnetic field of the pulsar at that radial distance is 1.0 102 T directed perpendicular to the velocity of the spacecraft. The spacecraft is 0.20 km long with a radius of 0.040 km and moves counter-clockwise in the xy-plane around the pulsar. (a) What is the speed of the spacecraft? (b) If the magnetic field points in the positive z-direction, is the emf induced from the back to the front of the spacecraft or from side to side? (c) Compute the induced emf.

(a) What is the charge of the particle? (b) What is unreasonable about this result? (c) Which assumptions are responsible?arrow_forwardThe picture tube in an old black-and-white television uses magnetic deflection coils rather than electric deflection plates. Suppose an electron beam is accelerated through a 50.0-kV potential difference and then through a region of uniform magnetic field 1.00 cm wide. The screen is located 10.0 cm from the center of the coils and is 50.0 cm wide. When the field is turned off, the electron beam hits the center of the screen. Ignoring relativistic corrections, what field magnitude is necessary to deflect the beam to the side of the screen?arrow_forward
- A particle in the cyclotron shown in Figure 28.16a gains energy qV from the alternating power supply each time it passes from one dee to the other. The time interval for each full orbit is T=2=2mqB so the particles average rate of increase in energy is 2qVT=q2BVm Notice that this power input is constant in time. On the other hand, the rate of increase in the radius r of its path is not constant. (a) Show that the rate of increase in the radius r of the panicles path is given by drdt=1rVB (b) Describe how the path of the particles in Figure 28.16a is consistent with the result of part (a). (c) At what rate is the radial position of the protons in a cyclotron increasing immediately before the protons leave the cyclotron? Assume the cyclotron has an outer radius of 0.350 m, an accelerating voltage of V = 600 V, and a magnetic field of magnitude 0.800 T. (d) By how much does the radius of the protons path increase during their last full revolution? Figure 28.16 (a) A cyclotron consists of an ion source at P, two does D1 and D2 across which an alternating potential difference is applied, and a uniform magnetic field. (The south pole of the magnet is not shown.) (b) The first cyclotron, invented by E. O. Lawrence and M. S. Livingston in 1934.arrow_forwardThe strengths of the fields in the velocity selector of a Bainbridge mass spectrometer are B = 0.500 T and E=1.2105 Van, and tire strength of the magnetic field that separates the ions is Bo=0.750 T. A stream of singly charged Li ions is found to bend in a circular arc of radius 2.32 cm. What is the mass of the Li ions?arrow_forwardAn electron moving with a velocity v=(4.0i+3.0j+2.0k)106m/s enters a region where there is a uniform electric field and a uniform magnetic field. The magnetic field is given by v=(1.0i2.0j+4.0k)102T. If the electron travels through a region without being deflected, what is the electric field?arrow_forward
- 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.arrow_forwardA 5.0-m section of a long, straight wire carries a current of 10 A while in a uniform magnetic field of magnitude 8.0103T .
