Chapter 37: Q. 9 (page 1082)


9. Electrons pass through the parallel electrodes shown in FIGURE EX37.9 with a Speedtowards left . What magnetic field strength and direction will allow the electrons to pass through without being deflected? Assume that the magnetic field is confined to the region between the electrodes.

Short Answer

Expert verified

and it is directed into the plane of paper.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Voltage, Length, Width, Speed towards left.

02

conceptual understanding

Since the upper plate is at a higher potential so Electric field is in downward direction.

Since electron is going left and we need the resulting magnetic force to be in downward direction (opposite to electric field) so that net force is zero.

Using the right hand rule

we can see that magnetic field is directed into the plane of paper.

03

calculation


Electric field

Magnetic force on electron is given by where B is magnetic field.so now, on comparing magnitudes :-

An alpha particle (a bare helium nucleus with q=+2e) acceler-ates across a 100V potential difference, starting from rest. What is the particle’s kinetic energy in eV when it reaches the negative electrode? This question requires no mathematics beyond what you can do in your head.

Explain why the observation of alpha particles scattered at very large angles led Rutherford to reject Thomson’s model of the atom and to propose a nuclear model.
