Concept explainers
To check: Variation of the beam of protons with the varying speed.
The angle at which beam of protons bent.
Answer to Problem 79GP
If the speed of the beam of protons is greater, then it will exit above the second tube. If it is lesser, then it will move below.
The angle at which the beam of protons bent is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Magnetic field is extended over a length of
Speed of the beam of protons is
Formula used:
Angle is calculated as
Calculation:
Beam of protons follows a circular path in the presence of a magnetic field with a radius of curvature
Exit velocity as shown in the figure below is perpendicular to the line of radius from the center of curvature, the bending angle will be
Conclusion:
Thus, if the speed of the beam of protons is greater, then it will exit above the second tube. If it is lesser, then it will move below.
The angle at which the beam of protons bent is
