Answer:
a) v = 1.075*10^7 m/s
b) FB = 7.57*10^-12 N
c) r = 10.1 cm
Explanation:
(a) To find the speed of the alpha particle you use the following formula for the kinetic energy:
(1)
q: charge of the particle = 2e = 2(1.6*10^-19 C) = 3.2*10^-19 C
V: potential difference = 1.2*10^6 V
You replace the values of the parameters in the equation (1):
The kinetic energy of the particle is also:
(2)
m: mass of the particle = 6.64*10^⁻27 kg
You solve the last equation for v:
the sped of the alpha particle is 1.075*10^6 m/s
b) The magnetic force on the particle is given by:
B: magnitude of the magnetic field = 2.2 T
The direction of the motion of the particle is perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field. Then sinθ = 1
the force exerted by the magnetic field on the particle is 7.57*10^-12 N
c) The particle describes a circumference with a radius given by:
the radius of the trajectory of the electron is 10.1 cm
