An electron moves at 1.40×106m/sthrough a regionin which there is a magnetic field of unspecified direction and magnitude 7.40×10-2T. (a) What are the largest and smallest possible magnitudes of the acceleration of the electron due to the magnetic field? (b) If the actual acceleration of the electron is one-fourth of the largest magnitude in part (a), what is the angle
between the electron velocity and the magnetic field?

Step by step solution

01

The significance of the magnetic field

The magnetic field force is given by

FB=q(v×B)F=±ç±¹µþ²õ¾±²Ôθ

Where q is the charge of the particle, V is the velocity and B is the magnetic field

02

Determination of the largest and smallest possible magnitudes of the acceleration

We know that the magnetic field force is given by

F=qv×BF=qvB²õ¾±²Ôθ

By the second law of motion we know that the force on a body is

F⇶Ä=ma⇶Ä

And the magnetic field force is given by

F=qv×B

Equating the two we get

ma⇶Ä=qv×Ba⇶Ä=qv×Bma⇶Ä=qvB²õ¾±²Ôθm

For minimum acceleration we get when,θ=0°wehaveamin=0.

For maximum acceleration we get,θ=90°

Substitute all the value in the above equation

a→=1.60×10-19C1.40×106m/s7.40×10-2T9.11×10-31Kga→=1.82×1016m/s2

Hence, the maximum acceleration isamax=1.82×1016m/s2

03

Determination of the angle between the electron velocity and the magnetic field

When the actual acceleration of the electron is one-fourth of the largest magnitude a'=a4, then the magnetic force on the electron is also one-fourth of the largest force.

F'=F4

We get

±ç±¹µþ²õ¾±²ÔÏ•=qvB4²õ¾±²ÔÏ•=14Ï•=14.5°

Hence the angle isϕ=14.5°

Question: A 540-Welectric heater is designed to operate from120-Vlines. (a) What is its operating resistance?(b) What current does it draw?(c) If the line voltage drops to 110 V what power does the heater take? (Assume that the resistance is constant. Actually, it will change because of the change in temperature.)(d) The heater coils are metallic, so that the resistance of the heater decreases with decreasing temperature. If the change of resistance with temperature is taken into account, will the electrical power consumed by the heater be larger or smaller than what you calculated in part (c)? Explain.

Question: The two charges q1 and q2shown in Fig. have equal magnitudes. What is the direction of the net electric field due to these two charges at points A (midway between the charges), B, and C if (a) both charges are negative, (b) both charges are positive, (c) q1 is positive and q2 is negative?

Questions: A conductor that carries a net charge has a hollow, empty cavity in its interior. Does the potential vary from point to point within the material of the conductor? What about within the cavity? How does the potential inside the cavity compare to the potential within the material of the conductor?
