Concept explainers
Ionization measurements show that a particular lightweight nuclear particle carries a double charge (= 2e) and is moving with a speed of 0.710c. Its measured radius of curvature in a magnetic field of 1.00 T is 6.28 m. Find the mass of the particle and identify it. (Hints: Lightweight nuclear particles are made up of neutrons (which have no charge) and protons (charge = +e), in roughly equal numbers. Take the mass of each such particle to be 1.00 u. (See Problem 53.)

- The magnetic field in a cyclotron is 1.25 T, and the maximum orbital radius of the circulating protons is 0.40 m. (a) What is the kinetic energy of the protons when they are ejected from the cyclotron? (b) What Is this energy in MeV? (c) Through what potential difference would a proton have to be accelerated to acquire this kinetic energy? (d) What is the period of tire voltage source used to accelerate the piotons? (e) Repeat tire calculations for alpha-particles.arrow_forwardAs measured by observers in a reference frame S, a particle having charge q moves with velocity v in a magnetic field B and an electric field E. The resulting force on the particle is then measured to be F = q(E + v × B). Another observer moves along with the charged particle and measures its charge to be q also but measures the electric field to be E′. If both observers are to measure the same force, F, show that E′ = E + v × B.arrow_forwardDescribe the following physical occurrences as events, that is, in the form (x, y, z, t): (a) A postman rings a doorbell of a house precisely at noon. (b) At the same lime as the doorbell is lung, a slice of bread pops out of a toaster that is located 10 1T1 from the door in the east direction from the door. (c) Tell seconds later, an airplane arrives at the airport, which is 10 km from the door in the east direction and 2 km to the south.arrow_forward
- The circular particle accelerator at CERN has a radius of about 2.24 km. The accelerator uses strong magnetic fields to steer charged particles in a circle, while electric fields give them more and more energy every time around. Suppose we're steering protons using magnetic fields of magnitude 8.22 T. What would be the magnitude of the momentum, p, of a proton under those conditions? You may assume that the magnetic field involved is perpendicular to the motion of the charges (that's the most efficient configuration).arrow_forwardConsider a charge of size +3.8 x 10-4 C and mass 8 kg is traveling to the left towards a +1.7 x 10-4 C charge with speed 119 m/s. The +1.7 x 10-4 C charge is so massive that it does not recoil in response to the repulsion of the approaching charge. Calculate how close the two charges get, in m. Use k = 9 x 109 N m2 / kg2.

If the magnetic field were 2 Tesla, what would be the cyclotron radius of the circular loop that the nuclei circle around in, assuming they go at about the speed of light, 3x108 m/s?
