During surgery, anesthesiolgists uses a mass spectrometer to monitor the respiratory gases of a patient. A gas often monitored is Isoflurane (molar mass = 3.06 ×10-25 kg). A singly ionized molecules of isoflurane has a charge if +e and moves at a speed of 7.5×103 m/s. If the path in which it travels is considered circular with a radius of 0.10 m then: Calculate the magnitude of the magnetic field that the spectrometer uses. If, and in a hypothetical case, a secondary reaction occurs creating a second particle which is negatively charged, twice the mass of the isoflurane and travels at 1.8 ×103 m/s. What is the radius of its circular path? Draw how the paths of these two molecules are affected under the influence of the magnetic force.
Silicon wafers are made to create the most groundbreaking invention of mankind - microprocessors. If two silicon wafers (assume dipoles), both with masses of 125 g, radii of 10 cm and thickness of 7 µm are placed close to each other, separated by a distance of 3 cm, what is the electric field strength experienced by an electron placed on the surface of the negatively charged wafer? What is the final velocity of the electron upon reaching the positively charged plate? How much power is generated by the electron in its travel?
In 1911, Ernest Rutherford and his assistants Geiger and Marsden conducted an experiment in which they scattered alpha particles (nuclei of helium atoms) from thin sheets of gold. An alpha particle, having charge +2e and mass 6.64 x 10-2 kg, is a product of certain radioactive decays. The results of the experiment led Rutherford to the idea that most of an atom's mass is in a very small nucleus, with electrons in orbit around it. Assume an alpha particle, initially very far from a stationary gold nucleus, is fired with a velocity of 1.41 x 107 m/s directly toward the nucleus (charge +79e). What is the smallest distance between the alpha particle and the nucleus before the alpha particle reverses direction? Assume the gold nucleus remains stationary. fm
