Question

A student performs a lab using a pair of coils with radius R = 10.5 cm and N = 95 windings. Using the equation in the theory, calculate the magnetic field at the center of both coils when the coil current is 4.7 A.

THEORY
When an electron is accelerated through a potential (voltage) difference V, the work done on the
electron (eV) equals the change in kinetic energy
2eV

-mv² = eV ⇒V=

(1)
where m is the electron mass, e is the elementary charge and v the electron velocity.
An electron moving perpendicular to a magnetic field B is subject to a force of magnitude
2eV
F = eBv = eB
(2)
m
which is perpendicular to the electron velocity and the magnetic field, and therefore causes the
electron to move in a circle. The centripetal force required for a circular orbit of radius r is
F=m-

r
Equating the two expressions for F and solving for velocity gives
V²

F=m

m
Combining the above with equation 1 leads to an equation for the charge-to-mass ratio

If the voltage (V), the magnetic field (B) and the radius of the circular electron path (r) are
measured, the charge-to-mass ratio can be calculated using this equation.
eBv ⇒v=
The magnetic field that the electron moves through is created using two parallel coils (see the
photos on the next page). At a distance z from the center of a single coil the field is
HoNIR ²

B = 2-
2[R² +2²7³/²
where μ. = 4 x 10-7 T-m/A, R is the radius of the coil, N is the number of times the wire is wound
around the coil, and I is the current. In this case we have two coils, both a distance z = R/2 from
the electron beam in the vacuum tube. The field is thus
