If the current in the Helmholtz coils were 2.4 A, rather than 1 A, and the accelerating voltage were still 100 V, what would the radius of the electron's path be? Give your answer in cm, and enter only the number. Blackboard will accept an answer witin 20% of the value it expects.
To obtain the value of an unknown electrical charge, a group performed an experiment. From the graph of the electric potential (voltage) V in volts, as a function of the inverse distance (1/r) in m^-1, the group obtained an angular coefficient 6838 Nm^2/C by the linear equation of the best straight line. Knowing that V=(kq)/r, calculate the value of the electric charge, in nC (nanocoulomb), from the slope provided by the best line.
Round the answer to a whole number.
Use:
k = 8.9876 x 10^9 N⋅m^2⋅C^−2
Consider a system consisting of a single hydrogen atom/ion, which has two possible states: unoccupied (i.e., no electron present) and occupied (i.e., one electron present, in the ground state). Calculate the ratio of the probabilities of these two states, to obtain the Saha equation, already derived. Treat the electrons as a monatomic ideal gas, for the purpose of determining J-l. Neglect the fact that an electron has two independent spin states.

- The spherical harmonics are the eigenfunctions of ?̂2 and ?̂ ? for the rigid rotor and thehydrogen atom (and other spherically symmetric problems). In this problem, we willexamine the nature of the angular nodes for these systems.Since the spherical harmonics include a factor of eim, which never has magnitude zero, forthis exercise we will construct some linear combinations of the spherical harmonics so weare working with real-valued functions.
