- A mass spectrometer (Fig. 30.40, page 956) operates with a uniform magnetic field of 20.0 mT and an electric field of 4.00 103 V/m in the velocity selector. What is the radius of the semicircular path of a doubly ionized alpha particle (ma = 6.64 1027 kg)?arrow_forwardA square loop whose sides are 6.0-cm long is made with copper wire of radius 1.0 mm. If a magnetic field perpendicular to the loop is changing at a rate of 5.0 mT/s, what is the current in the loop?arrow_forwardAn electron of kinetic energy 2000 eV passes between parallel plates that are 1.0 an apart and kept at a potential difference of 300 V. What is the strength of the uniform magnetic field B that will allow the electron to travel undeflected through the plates? Assume E and B are perpendicular.arrow_forward
- Two ions are accelerated from rest in a mass spectrometer operating with potential difference V. The first ion, with mass m1, is singly ionized and is deflected into a semicircle of radius R1 by the uniform magnetic field in the mass spectrometer. A second, doubly-ionized ion with mass m2 is deflected into a semicircle with twice the radius of the first ion. What is the ratio m2/m1?arrow_forwardAn electron is accelerated through 2.40 103 V from rest and then enters a uniform 1.70-T magnetic field. What are (a) the maximum and (b) the minimum values of the magnetic force this particle experiences?arrow_forwardWhy is the following situation impossible? Figure P28.46 shows an experimental technique for altering the direction of travel for a charged particle. A particle of charge q = 1.00 C and mass m = 2.00 1015 kg enters the bottom of the region of uniform magnetic field at speed = 2.00 105 m/s, with a velocity vector perpendicular to the field lines. The magnetic force on the particle causes its direction of travel to change so that it leaves the region of the magnetic field at the top traveling at an angle from its original direction. The magnetic field has magnitude B = 0.400 T and is directed out of the page. The length h of the magnetic field region is 0.110 m. An experimenter performs the technique and measures the angle at which the particles exit the top of the field. She finds that the angles of deviation are exactly as predicted.

Figure P22.2.arrow_forwardConsider the mass spectrometer shown schematically in Active Figure 22.12. The magnitude of the electric field between the plates of the velocity selector is 2.50 103 V/m, and the magnetic field in both the velocity selector and the deflection chamber has a magnitude of 0.035 0 T. Calculate the radius of the path for a singly charged ion having a mass m = 2.18 1026 kg.arrow_forwardAssume the region to the right of a certain plane contains a uniform magnetic field of magnitude 1.00 mT and the field is zero in the region to the left of the plane as shown in Figure P22.71. An electron, originally traveling perpendicular to the boundary plane, passes into the region of the field. (a) Determine the time interval required for the electron to leave the field-filled region, noting that the electrons path is a semicircle. (b) Assuming the maximum depth of penetration into the field is 2.00 cm, find the kinetic energy of the electron.arrow_forward
- An electron in a TV CRT moves with a speed of 6.0107 m/s, in a direction perpendicular to Earth's field, which has a strength of 5.0105 T. (a) What strength electric field must be applied perpendicular to the Earth’s field to make the election moves in a straight line? (b) If this is done between plates separated by 1.00 cm, what is the voltage applied? (Note that TVs are usually surrounded by a ferromagnetic material to shield against external magnetic fields and avoid the need for such a collection,)arrow_forwardA magnetic field directed into the page changes with time according to B = 0.030 0t2 + 1.40, where B is in teslas and t is in seconds.

When t = 3.00 s and r2 = 0.020 0 m, what are (a) the magnitude and (b) the direction of the electric field at point P2?arrow_forwardWhen the current through a circular loop is 6.0 A, the magnetic field at its center is 2.0104 T. What is the radius of the loop?arrow_forward
