Concept explainers
Figure 32-37a is a one-axis graph along which two of the allowed energy values (levels) of an atom are plotted. When the atom is placed in a magnetic field of 0.500 T, the graph changes to that of Fig. 32-37b because of the energy associated with
Figure 32-37 Problem 32.

- Given the identification of the particles in Figure 31.2b, is the direction of the external magnetic field in Figure 31.2a (a) into the page, (b) out of the page, (c) impossible to determine?arrow_forwardA certain commercial mass spectrometer is used to separate uranium ions of mass 3.92 × 10-25 kg and charge 3.20 × 10-19 C from related species. The ions are accelerated through a potential difference of 107 kV and then pass into a uniform magnetic field, where they are bent in a path of radius 0.961 m. After traveling through 180° and passing through a slit of width 0.766 mm and height 1.48 cm, they are collected in a cup. (a) What is the magnitude of the (perpendicular) magnetic field in the separator? If the machine is used to separate out 0.795 mg of material per hour, calculate (b) the current of the desired ions in the machine and (c) the thermal energy produced in the cup in 1.07 h.arrow_forwardWhen the Hemholtz distance condition is satisfied the second derivative of the magnetic field with respect to z vanishes or becomes zero at the center ( point P). Show that both d2Bz/dz2 = 0 and d3Bz/dz3 = 0 at point P.arrow_forward
- In the figure, an electron accelerated from rest through potential difference V1=1.26 kV enters the gap between two parallel plates having separation d = 19.6 mm and potential difference V2= 52.4 V. The lower plate is at the lower potential. Neglect fringing and assume that the electron's velocity vector is perpendicular to the electric field vector between the plates. In unit-vector notation, what uniform magnetic field allows the electron to travel in a straight line in the gap? I need this in units of mT.arrow_forwardA 2-tesla uniform magnetic field makes an angle of 30 degrees with the z axis. What is the magnetic flux through a 3-square meter portion of the xy plane? Group of answer choices 6.0 Wb 2.0 Wb 5.2 Wb 12 Wb 3.0 Wbarrow_forwardA proton moving at speed v = 1.00 x 106 m/s enters a region in space where a magnetic fi eld givenby B = (–0.500 T) z exists. The velocity vector of the proton is at an angle θ = 60.0° with respect tothe positive z-axis. a) Analyze the motion of the proton and describe its trajectory (in qualitativeterms only). b) Calculate the radius, r, of the trajectory projected onto a plane perpendicular to themagnetic fi eld (in the xy-plane). c) Calculate the period, T, and frequency, f, of the motion in thatplane. d) Calculate the pitch of the motion (the distance traveled by the proton in the direction ofthe magnetic fi eld in 1 period).arrow_forward
