Look first for the relation between deBroglie wavelength (λ) and kinetic energy (K): 
K = ½mv² 
v = √(2K/m) 
λ = h/(mv) 
= h/(m√(2K/m)) 
= h/√(2Km) 

So λ is proportional to 1/√K. 
in the potential well the potential energy is zero, so completely the electron's energy is in the shape of kinetic energy: 
K = 6U₀ 

Outer the potential well the potential energy is U₀, so 
K = 5U₀ 
(because kinetic and potential energies add up to 6U₀) 

Therefore, the ratio of the de Broglie wavelength of the electron in the region x>L (outside the well) to the wavelength for 0<x<L (inside the well) is: 
1/√(5U₀) : 1/√(6U₀) 
= √6 : √5

A steady current I flows through a wire of radius a. The current density in the wire varies with r as J = kr, where k is a const
grin007 [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

we can consider an element of radius r < a and thickness dr.  and Area of this element is

dA=2\pi r dr

since current density is given

J=kr

then , current through this element will be,

di_{thru}=JdA=(kr)(2\pi\,r\,dr)=2\pi\,kr^2\,dr

integrating on both sides between the appropriate limits,

\int_0^Idi_{thru}=\int_0^a2\pi\,kr^2\,dr&#10;\\\\&#10;I=\frac{2\pi\,ka^3}{3} -------------------------------(1)

Magnetic field can be found by using Ampere's law

\oint{\vec{B}\cdot\,d\vec{l}}=\mu_0\,i_{enc}

for points inside the wire ( r<a)

now, consider a point at a distance 'r' from the center of wire. The appropriate Amperian loop is a circle of radius r.

by applying the Ampere's law, we can write

\oint{\vec{B}_{in}\cdot\,d\vec{l}}=\mu_0\,i_{enc}&#10;

by symmetry \vec{B} will be of uniform magnitude on this loop and it's direction will be tangential to the loop.

Hence,

B_{in}\times2\pi\,l=\mu_0\int_0^r(kr)(2\pi\,r\,dr)=&#10;\\\\2\pi\,B_{in} l=2\pi\mu_0k \frac{r^3}{3}&#10;\\\\B_{in}=\frac{\mu_0kl^2}{3}&#10;

now using equation 1, putting the value of k,

B_{in} = \frac{\mu_{0} l^2 }{3 } \,\,\, \frac{3I}{2 \pi a^3}&#10;\\\\B_{in} = \frac{ \mu_{0} I l^2}{2 \pi a^3}&#10;

B)

now, for points outside the wire ( r>a)

consider a point at a distance 'r' from the center of wire. The appropriate Amperian loop is a circle of radius l.

applying the Ampere's law

\oint{\vec{B}_{out}\cdot\,d\vec{l}}=\mu_0\,i_{enc}&#10;

by symmetry \vec{B} will be of uniform magnitude on this loop and it's direction will be tangential to the loop. Hence

B_{out}\times2\pi\,r=\mu_0\int_0^a(kr)(2\pi\,r\,dr)&#10;\\\\2\pi\,B_{out}r=2\pi\mu_0k\frac{a^3}{3}&#10;\\\\B_{out}=\frac{\mu_0ka^3}{3r}&#10;

again using,equaiton 1,

B_{out}= \mu_0 \frac{a^3}{3r} \times \frac{3 I}{2 \pi a^3}&#10;\\\\B_{out} = \frac{ \mu_{0} I}{2 \pi r}

An electron is accelrated by a unifor electric field (1000v/m) pointing vertically upward. Use energy methods to get the magnitu
ExtremeBDS [4]

Explanation:

In the given situation two forces are working. These are:

1) Electric force (acting in the downward direction) = qE

2) weight (acting in the downward direction) = mg

Therefore, work done by all the forces = change in kinetic energy

Hence, qE \times S + mg \times S = 0.5 \times mv^{2}

     1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 1000 + 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times 9.8 \times (\frac{0.10}{100}) = 0.5 \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times v^{2}

It is known that the weight of electron is far less compared to electric force. Therefore, we can neglect the weight  and the above equation will be as follows.

   (1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 1000) \times (\frac{0.10}{100}) = 0.5 \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times v^{2&#10;}

         v = sqrt{\frac{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}{(0.5 \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31})}

           = 592999 m/s

Since, the electron is travelling downwards it means that it looses the potential energy.
