a. A 65-cm-diameter cyclotron uses a 500Voscillating potential difference between the Dees. What is the maximum kinetic energy of a proton if the magnetic field strength is 0.75T?

b. How many revolutions does the proton make before leaving the cyclotron?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) Maximum mechanical energy, E=4.55×10-13J

(b) Revolutions, fcyc=11.4×106rev

Step by step solution

01

Find Kinetic Energy (part a)

The cyclotron motion is defined as a particle travelling in an exceedingly uniform circular motion perpendicular to the magnetic field of force at a relentless speed. The radius of the circular motion produced by the magnetic flux is said thereto it by an equation within the form

rcyc=mvqB

Where qdenotes the particle's charge, vthe particle's speed, Bthe magnetic flux and mthe particle's mass.

To determine the mechanical energy, we must first determine the proton's velocity, thus we rearrange the equation for vto be

v=qBrcycm

Kinetic energy is half merchandise the product of mass and velocity squared.

E=12mv2=12mqBrcycm2

=q2B2rcyc22m

02

Find Kinetic energy(part b)

Put the values into equation

E=q2B2rcyc22m

=1.6×10-19C2(0.75T)232.5×10-2m221.67×10-27kg

=4.55×10-13J

03

Find Revolutions

fcyc=qB2πm

Put the values in equation,

=1.6×10-19C(0.75T)2π1.67×10-27kg

=11.4×106rev

What is the line integral of Bbetween points i and f in FIG URE EX29.24?

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?

FIGUREP29.64shows a mass spectrometer, an analytical instrument used to identify the various molecules in a sample by measuring their charge-to-mass ratio qm. The sample is ionized, the positive ions are accelerated (starting from rest) through a potential differencelocalid="1648976601527" V, and they then enter a region of uniform magnetic field. The field bends the ions into circular trajectories, but after just half a circle they either strike the wall or pass through a small opening to a detector. As the accelerating voltage is slowly increased, different ions reach the detector and are measured. Consider a mass spectrometer with localid="1648976606181" 200.00mTa magnetic field and an localid="1648976610307" 8.0000cmspacing between the entrance and exit holes. To five significant figures, what accelerating potential differences localid="1648978768434" Vare required to detect the ions localid="1648978902862" (a)O2+, (b)N2+, and localid="1648978898077" (c)CO+? See Exercise localid="1648978753549" 29for atomic masses; the mass of the missing electron is less than localid="1648978758219" 0.001uand is not relevant at this level of precision. Although localid="1648978910549" N2+and localid="1648978778238" CO+both have a nominal molecular mass of localid="1648978782098" 28, they are easily distinguished by virtue of their slightly different accelerating voltages. Use the following constants:

1u=1.6605×1027kg,e=1.6022×1019C.

The magnetic field at the center of 1.0cmdiameter loop is 2.5mT.

a. What is the current in the loop?

b. A long straight wire carries the same current you found in part a. At what distance from the wire is the magnetic field2.5mT?

An antiproton is identical to a proton except it has the opposite charge, -e. To study antiprotons, they must be confined in an ultrahigh vacuum because they will annihilate—producing gamma rays—if they come into contact with the protons of ordinary matter. One way of confining antiprotons is to keep them in a magnetic field. Suppose that antiprotons are created with a speed of 1.5×104m/s and then trapped in a 2.0mT magnetic field. What minimum diameter must the vacuum chamber have to allow these antiprotons to circulate without touching the walls?
