Short Answer

Expert verified

a) The magnetic force on the electron for the component a is determined as F=8×10-13j^N

b)The magnetic force on the electron for the component b is determined as F=(0.56×10-12-j^+0.56×1012-k^)N

Step by step solution

01

Introduction

The given is the speed of the electron 1.0×107m/smoves in the magnetic field of B=0.50l^T

The objective is to find the magnetic force on the electron for each component

The method used here is the Ampere's Experiment to find the magnetic force

02

Step 1

a)

The magnetic field imposes a magnetic force on the moving charge, which is dependent on the velocity vector, as demonstrated by Ampere's experiment. The force increases as the angle between the velocity and the magnetic field increases.

The magnetic force can be calculated using an equation of the type

F=qv×B (1)

The charge is denoted by localid="1648902125297" q.The angle between the velocity and the magnetic field is 90°but the magnetic field's direction is negative zhence the velocity vector is

v=(-1×107m/s)k^

Step 2

We plug the values for B,qandvinto equation(1)to get F, where (k^×i^)=j^is the magnetic field component B=0.50i^T.

F=qv×B=(-1.6×10-19C[(-1×107m/s)k^×(0.50i^T)]=(-1.6×10-19C[-0.5×107(k^×i^)]=8×10-13j^N

Step 3

b)

In the -yzplane, the angle between the velocity and the magnetic field is 45°, hence the velocity vector is

v=(-1×107m/s)cos45°j^+(1×107m/s)sin45°k^

We plug the values for localid="1648902389473" B,qandvinto equation localid="1648902410608" (1)to get localid="1648902415023" F, where localid="1648902419896" (j^×i^)is the magnetic field component.

localid="1648902430763" F=qv×B=(1.6×10-19C)[(-1×107m/s)cos45°j^+(1×107m/s)sin45°k^×(0.50i^T)=(0.56×10-12-j^+0.56×10-12-k^)N

Although the evidence is weak, there has been concern in recent years over possible health effects from the magnetic fields generated by electric transmission lines. A typical high-voltage transmission line is 20mabove the ground and carries a 200Acurrent at a potential of 110kV.

a. What is the magnetic field strength on the ground directly under such a transmission line?

b. What percentage is this of the earth’s magnetic field of 50μT?

You have a horizontal cathode-ray tube (CRT) for which the controls have been adjusted such that the electron beam should make a single spot of light exactly in the center of the screen. You observe, however, that the spot is deflected to the right. It is possible that the CRT is broken. But as a clever scientist, you realize that your laboratory might be in either an electric or a magnetic field. Assuming that you do not have a compass, any magnets, or any charged rods, how can you use the CRT itself to determine whether the CRT is broken, is in an electric field, or is in a magnetic field? You cannot remove the CRT from the room.
