Concept explainers
A proton circulates in a cyclotron, beginning approximately at rest at the center. Whenever it passes through the gap between dees, the electric potential difference between the dees is 200 V. (a) By how much does its kinetic energy increase with each passage through the gap? (b) What is its kinetic energy as it completes 100 passes through the gap? Let r100 be the radius of the proton's circular path as it completes those 100 passes and enters a dee. and let r101 be its next radius, as it enters a dee the next time.(c) By what percentage does the radius increase when it changes from r100 to r101? That is, what is
percentage increase = 100%?

- A uniformly charged ring of radius R = 25.0 cm carrying a total charge of 15.0 C is placed at the origin and oriented in the yz plane (Fig. P24.54). A 2.00-g particle with charge q = 1.25 C, initially at the origin, is nudged a small distance x along the x axis and released from rest. The particle is confined to move only in the x direction. a. Show that the particle executes simple harmonic motion about the origin. b. What is the frequency of oscillation for the particle?

- (a) Find the potential difference VB required to stop an electron (called a slopping potential) moving with an initial speed of 2.85 107 m/s. (b) Would a proton traveling at the same speed require a greater or lesser magnitude potential difference? Explain. (c) Find a symbolic expression for the ratio of the proton stopping potential and the electron stopping potential, Vp/Ve. The answer should be in terms of the proton mass mp and electron mass me.arrow_forwardWhat magnetic field is required in order to confine a proton moving with a speed of 4.0 × 106 m/s to a circular orbit of radius 10 cm?arrow_forwardTwo infinitely-long conductors parallel to the z-axis pass through the points (0,±a).arrow_forward
