Concept explainers
In an experiment with cosmic rays, a vertical beam of particles that have charge of magnitude 3e and mass 12 times the proton mass enters a uniform horizontal magnetic field of 0.250 T and is bent in a semicircle of diameter 95.0 cm, as shown in Fig. E27.19. (a) Find the speed of the particles and the sign of their charge, (b) Is it reasonable to ignore the gravity force on the particles? (c) How does the speed of the particles as they enter the field compare to their speed as they exit the field?

- A proton moving in the plane of the page has a kinetic energy of 6.00 MeV. A magnetic field of magnitude H = 1.00 T is directed into the page. The proton enters the magnetic field with its velocity vector at an angle = 45.0 to the linear boundary of' the field as shown in Figure P29.80. (a) Find x, the distance from the point of entry to where the proton will leave the field. (b) Determine . the angle between the boundary and the protons velocity vector as it leaves the field.arrow_forwardA cosmic-ray proton in interstellar space has an energy of 10.0 MeV and executes a circular orbit having a radius equal to that of Mercury’s orbit around the Sun (5.80 × 1010 m).

The first ion, with mass m1, is singly ionized and is deflected into a semicircle of radius R1 by the uniform magnetic field in the mass spectrometer.

- Why is the following situation impossible? Figure P28.46 shows an experimental technique for altering the direction of travel for a charged particle. A particle of charge q = 1.00 C and mass m = 2.00 1015 kg enters the bottom of the region of uniform magnetic field at speed = 2.00 105 m/s, with a velocity vector perpendicular to the field lines. The magnetic force on the particle causes its direction of travel to change so that it leaves the region of the magnetic field at the top traveling at an angle from its original direction. The magnetic field has magnitude B = 0.400 T and is directed out of the page. The length h of the magnetic field region is 0.110 m. An experimenter performs the technique and measures the angle at which the particles exit the top of the field. She finds that the angles of deviation are exactly as predicted.
