Within a cylindrical region of space of radius 100 Mm, a magnetic field is uniform with a magnitude 25.0 μT and oriented parallel to the axis of the cylinder. The magnetic field is zero outside this cylinder. A cosmic-ray proton traveling at one-tenth the speed of light is heading directly toward the center of the cylinder, moving perpendicular to the cylinder’s axis. (a) Find the radius of curvature of the path the proton follows when it enters the region of the field. (b) Explain whether the proton will arrive at the center of the cylinder.

Consider an experimental setup where charged particles (electrons or protons) are first accelerated by an electric field and then injected into a region of constant magnetic field with a field strength of 0.45 T. 1. What is the potential difference, in volts, required in the first part of the experiment to accelerate electrons to a speed of 6.1 × 107 m/s? 2. Find the radius of curvature, in meters, of the path of a proton accelerated through this same potential after the proton crosses into the region with the magnetic field. 3. What is the ratio of the radii of curvature for a proton and an an electron traveling through this apparatus?

An electron beam is directed horizontally into a region where there is both an electric field and a magnetic field. The electric field points upward with a magnitude EE = 2.9 N/C, as shown in the figure. While moving through the region, the electron beam remains directed in a straight, horizontal line with a speed of 460 m/s. 1.) Express the magnitude of the electric force using the electric field E and the elementary charge e. 2.) Calculate the numerical value of the magnitude of the electric force in newtons. 3.) Express the magnitude of the magnetic force in terms of the elementary charge ee, electron speed vv, and BB, the magnitude of the magnetic field. 4.) If the electron is continuing in a horizontal straight line, express the magnitude of the magnetic field in terms of vv and EE, B = ? 5.) Calculate the magnitude of the magnetic field in tesla, if the electron continues in a horizontal straight line. 5.)
