j^a. Magnetic force experienced by the electron isFB=0.624×10-13Nk^~6.2×10-14Nk^

b. Magnetic force experienced by the proton isFB=-0.624×10-13Nk¯~6.2×10-14Nk^

Step by step solution

01

Given 

v=2.0×106i¯+3.0×106j^B=0.030i^-0.15j^

02

Determining the concept 

Find the magnetic force on the electron using the formula for magnetic force in terms of charge, magnetic field strength, and velocity of electron.

Formulae are as follow:

FB=ev×B

Where, FB is magnetic force, v is velocity, B is magnetic field, e is charge of particle.

03

(a) Determining the magnetic force experienced by the electron 

The magnetic force experienced by the electron is,

FB=ev×B

FB=-1.6×10-192.0×106i^+3.0×106j^×0.030i^-0.15j^

v×B=i^j^k^2.0×1063.0×10600.030-0.150v×B=2.0×106-0.15-3.0×1060.030k^v×B=-0.39×106k^msT

Hence,

FB=-1.6×10-19-0.39×106k^FB=0.624×10-13Nk^~6.2×10-14Nk^

Hence, the magnetic force experienced by the electron islocalid="1663047307015" FB=-0.624×10-13Nk^~6.2×10-14Nk^

04

(b) Determining the magnetic force experienced by the proton

Since, proton will experience the same magnetic field, and its velocity is the same but charge on it is positive.

Therefore, the magnetic force experienced by proton is FB=-0.624×10-13Nk^~-6.2×10-14Nk^

Hence, the magnetic force experienced by the proton is FB=-0.624×10-13Nk^~-6.2×10-14Nk^

Therefore, the magnetic force on the electron and proton can be found using the formula for magnetic force in terms of charge, magnetic field strength, and velocity of electron.

Question: Figure 28-56 shows a homopolar generator, which has a solid conducting disk as rotor and which is rotated by a motor (not shown). Conducting brushes connect this emf device to a circuit through which the device drives current. The device can produce a greater emf than wire loop rotors because they can spin at a much higher angular speed without rupturing. The disk has radius R=0.250mand rotation frequency f=4000Hz, and the device is in a uniform magnetic field of magnitude B=60.0mTthat is perpendicular to the disk. As the disk is rotated, conduction electrons along the conducting path (dashed line) are forced to move through the magnetic field. (a) For the indicated rotation, is the magnetic force on those electrons up or down in the figure? (b) Is the magnitude of that force greater at the rim or near the center of the disk? (c)What is the work per unit charge done by that force in moving charge along the radial line, between the rim and the center? (d)What, then, is the emf of the device? (e) If the current is 50.0A, what is the power at which electrical energy is being produced?
