Question

Transcribed Image Text:(a) A wire is held horizontally in a vacuum chamber, and carries a current of 2.20 µA. A proton is traveling in a direction parallel to the wire (opposite the current) with a constant speed of
2.40 x 104 m/s at a distance d above the wire. Ignoring the magnetic field due to the Earth, determine the value of d (in cm).
cm
(b)
What If? At what distance d (in m) would an electron moving with the same speed as the proton move parallel to the wire?
What direction would the electron have to move?
In the same direction as the proton.
In the opposite direction as the proton.
There is too little information to determine the direction.

- A cyclotron is a device for accelerating charged particles to high speed as they follow an expanding spiral-like path (See LHC, NSRRC, or an MRI machine). The charged particles are subjected to both an electric field and a magnetic field. One of these fields increases the speed of the charged particles, and the other field causes them to follow a curved path. Which one does the latter? The magnetic field, since it exerts a force to the moving charge perpendicular to the charges' direction of motion. The electric field, since it exerts a force that accelerates the particle in the curved path of the facility. Not necessarily only one. Both contributes to the particles' curving of path as both exert force perpendicular to their velocity's direction. None of them. The curving of charges occur due to the design of the facility/device.arrow_forwardA positive charge traveling with a speed of 8,600 m/s enters the deflection chamber of a mass spectrometer. In the deflection chamber exists a uniform magnetic field of 0.8 T. The charge undergoes a deflection with a radius of curvature that is 0.033m.

Protons(with zero neutrons) are the most common hydrogen nuclei. Some hydrogen isotopes, however, haveeither one or two neutrons in addition to the proton. If a beam of hydrogen nuclei is shot into amagnetic field of strength 2.0T and the nuclei do a u-turn after which they strike a detector, how farapart will the three isotopes be on the detector surface? Assume both protons and neutrons have amass of 1.67 × 10−27kg and e = 1.60 × 10−19C.arrow_forward

I need to find the angular acceleration at t=3.7s, but I don't know how I'm supposed to get that becuase the formula that we have says that it is the second derivative of angular position, but when I calculate angular position all I get is 6.57516 radians. I don't understand how I'm supposed to take a derivative of that since it doesn't have any variables. I don't know if it is needed for this, but I already calculated the centripetal acceleration as 18.0446m/s^2arrow_forward
