A charged particle is accelerated from rest through a potential difference of magnitude |ΔV|. After exiting the potential difference at an emission point, the particle enters a region of uniform magnetic field. The magnetic field is perpendicular to the particle's velocity, and the particle travels along a complete circular path. The particle's mass is 2.10 ✕ 10−16 kg, its charge is 26.0 nC, and the magnetic field magnitude is 0.600 T. The particle's circular path, as it returns to the emission point, encloses a magnetic flux of 15.0 µWb.

a. What is the speed in (m/s) of the particle when it is in the region of the magnetic field?
b. What is the magnitude of the potential difference through which the particle was accelerated?

Respuesta :

Answer:

a

The speed of the particle is  [tex]v = 209485.71 m/s[/tex]

b

The potential difference is  [tex]\Delta V = 177.2 \ V[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The mass of the particle is  [tex]m = 2.10 *10^{-16} kg[/tex]

     The charge on the particle is  [tex]q = 26.0 nC = 26.0 *10^{-9} C[/tex]

    The magnitude of the magnetic field is [tex]B = 0.600 T[/tex]

    The magnetic flux is  [tex]\O = 15.0 \mu Wb = 15.0 *10^{-6} Wb[/tex]

The magnetic flux is mathematically represented as

              [tex]\O = B *A[/tex]

Where A is the the area mathematically represented as  

           [tex]A = \pi r^2[/tex]

Substituting this into the equation w have

         [tex]\O = B (\pi r^2 )[/tex]

Making r the subject  of the formula  

         [tex]r = \sqrt{\frac{\O}{B \pi} }[/tex]

Substituting value  

        [tex]r = \sqrt{\frac{15 *10^{-6}}{3.142 * 0.6} }[/tex]

            [tex]r = 2.82 *10^{-3}m[/tex]

For the particle to form a circular path the magnetic force the partial experience inside the magnetic must be equal to the centripetal force of the particle and this is mathematically represented as

              [tex]F_q = F_c[/tex]

Where [tex]F_q = q B v[/tex]

   and   [tex]F_c = \frac{mv^2 }{r}[/tex]

Substituting this into the equation above

       [tex]qBv = \frac{mv^2}{r}[/tex]

 making v the subject

       [tex]v = \frac{r q B}{m}[/tex]

substituting values

         [tex]v = \frac{2.82 * 10^{-3} * 26 *10^{-9} 0.6}{2.10*10^{-16}}[/tex]

           [tex]v = 209485.71 m/s[/tex]

The potential energy of the particle before entering the magnetic field is equal to the kinetic energy in the magnetic field

   This is mathematically represented as

                    [tex]PE = KE[/tex]

     Where [tex]PE = q * \Delta V[/tex]            

        and  [tex]KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2[/tex]

Substituting into the equation above  

             [tex]q \Delta V = \frac{1}{2} mv^2[/tex]

Making the potential difference the subject

            [tex]\Delta V = \frac{mv^2}{2 q}[/tex]

              [tex]\Delta V = \frac{2.16 * 10^ {-16} * (209485.71)^2 }{2 * 26 *10^{-9}}[/tex]

              [tex]\Delta V = 177.2 \ V[/tex]
