Chapter 26, Problem 39A

To determine

To create: a question that involves the given parameters.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Magnetic field is $B=75\text{mT}$ .

Charge is $q=\left(1.6\times {10}^{-19}\text{C}\right)$ .

Mass is $m=12\left(1.67\times {10}^{-27}\right)\text{kg}$ .

Potential difference is $V=515\text{V}$ .

Calculation:

Since the strength of magnetic field, charge, mass and potential difference are given as a parameter, therefore, with all these four parameter the questions should be like this:

A mass spectrometer can yield the following data for a beam of singly ionized oxygen atom:

  $B=75\text{mT}$ , $q=\left(1.6\times {10}^{-19}\text{C}\right)$ , $m=12\left(1.67\times {10}^{-27}\right)\text{kg}$ and $V=515\text{V}$ . Calculate the radius of the path.

Conclusion:

Hence, the question is:

A mass spectrometer can yield the following data for a beam of singly ionized oxygen atom:

  $B=75\text{mT}$ , $q=\left(1.6\times {10}^{-19}\text{C}\right)$ , $m=12\left(1.67\times {10}^{-27}\right)\text{kg}$ and $V=515\text{V}$ . Calculate the radius of the path.
