Chapter 32: Q75P (page 971)

Suppose that 4 are the limits to the values of an electron in an atom. (a) How many different values of the electrons μorb,zare possible? (b) What is the greatest magnitude of those possible values? Next, if the atom is in a magnetic field of magnitude 0.250T, in the positive direction of the z-axis, what are (c) the maximum energy and (d) the minimum energy associated with those possible values ofμorb,z ?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. Different possible values of the electrons μorb,z are ml=−4,−3,−2,−1,0,+1,+2,+3,+4.

Step by step solution

01

Listing the given quantities: 

  • The limits to the values of ml for the electron in an atom is ml=±4.
02

Understanding the concepts of magnetic dipole moment and energy:

In atomic physics, the electron magnetic moment, or more precisely the electron magnetic dipole moment, is the magnetic moment of an electron resulting from its intrinsic properties of spin and electric charge.

03

(a) Calculations of different possible values of the electron’s  μorb,z: 

The possible values of the electron’s μorb,z in an atom is,

ml=−4,−3,−2,−1,0,+1,+2,+3,+4

Hence, there are nine different possible values of the electron’s μorb,z.

(a) What current must be set up in the windings to attain a toroidal field of magnitudeB0=0.20mT ? (b) A secondary coil wound around the toroid has 50Turnsand resistance8.0Ω . If, for this value ofB0 , we haveBM=800B0 , how much charge moves through the secondary coil when the current in the toroid windings is turned on?

Question: Figuregives the magnetization curve for a paramagnetic material. The vertical axis scale is set bya=0.15, and the horizontal axis scale is set byb=0.2T/K. Letμsambe the measured net magnetic moment of a sample of the material andμmaxbe the maximum possible net magnetic moment of that sample. According to Curie’s law, what would be the ratioμsam/μmax were the sample placed in a uniform magnetic field of magnitude, at a temperature of 2.00 k?

Assume that an electron of mass mand charge magnitude emoves in a circular orbit of radius rabout a nucleus. A uniform magnetic fieldis then established perpendicular to the plane ofthe orbit. Assuming also that the radius of the orbit does not change and that the change in the speed of the electron due to fieldis small, find an expression for the change in the orbital magnetic dipole moment of the electron due to the field.
