Question

Show all your work and include units in your answers for full credit. A large C-shaped magnet (whose poles are shown here) has a region of uniform magnetic field between its poles. An electron moves into the magnetic field with a velocity of 5.20 times 10^7 m/s in the +x direction. What is the direction of the magnetic force on the electron? The magnitude of the magnetic force on the electron is 4.75 times 10^-13 N. What is the magnitude of the magnetic field in the region between the poles of the magnet? If the electron does not leave the magnetic field, its path will be a circle. What is the radius of this circle?

Explanation / Answer


Given

   electron velocity v = 5.20*10^7 m/s


   charge q = 1.6*10^-19 C
a)
   movining in +x direction and the direction of the magnetc force is perpendicular to each other
the direction of the mganetic force is in the z direction

b)

   magnetic force F = 4.75*10^-13 N


   F = Bqv sin theta

   B = F/qv sin theta

   B = F/ qv sin 90

   B = F/qv

   B = 4.75*10^-13/(1.6*10^-19*5.20*10^7) T

   B = 0.0570913461538 T
c)

   mv^2/r = Bqv

   r = mv/Bq

   r = (9.1*10^-31*5.20*10^7)/(0.0570913461538*1.6*10^-19) m

   r = 0.0051802947368 m
