For your senior project, you would like to build a cyclotron that will accelerate protons to 10% of the speed of light. The largest vacuum chamber you can find is 60 cm in diameter. Part A What magnetic field strength will you need?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The magnetic field strength, B is 1.043 T.

Explanation:

The expression for the magnetic field is as follows as;

[tex]B=\frac{mv}{qr}[/tex]

Here, m is the mass, r is the radius, v is the speed, q is the charge and B is the magnetic field.

According to the given problem, you would like to build a cyclotron that will accelerate protons to 10% of the speed of light.  The largest vacuum chamber you can find is 60 cm in diameter.

v= 10% of the speed of the light

[tex]v=\frac{10}{100}\times3\times10^{8}ms^{-1}[/tex]

[tex]v=3\times10^{7}ms^{-1}[/tex]

[tex]r=\frac{Diameter}{2}[/tex]

[tex]r=\frac{60}{2} cm[/tex]

r=0.30 m

Calculate the magnetic field strength.

[tex]B=\frac{mv}{qr}[/tex]

Put [tex]v=3\times10^{7}ms^{-1}[/tex], [tex]m=1.67\times10^{-27}ms^{-1} kg[/tex], [tex]q=1.6\times10^{-19}C[/tex] and r=0.30 m.

[tex]B=\frac{(1.67\times10^{-27})(3\times10^{7})}{(1.6\times10^{-19})(0.30)}[/tex]

B= 1.043 T

Therefore, the magnetic field strength is 1.043 T.
