A long straight wire carries a current of 50 A. An electron, traveling at1.0×107m/s, is 5.0 cm from the wire. What is the magnit

ude of the magnetic force on the electron if the electron velocity is directed (a) toward the wire, (b) parallel to the wire in the direction of the current, and (c) perpendicular to the two directions defined by (a) and (b)?

Answer:

Recall, The magnetic field on a electron in a wire, Bₓ = (µ₀ I)/(2πr)

Note: Magnetic force direction is at right angles to electron motion.

Magnetic force, F = q * v * Bₓ

Substituting Bₓ into F, we have

F = q * v * Bₓ = (q * v * µ₀* I)/(2π r) = (1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ x 1.0 x 10⁷ x 4π x 10⁻⁷ x 50)/( 2π x 5 x 10⁻²) = 3.2 x 10⁻¹⁶ N

a) Hence, the magnitude of the magnetic force on the electron if the electron velocity is directed (a) toward the wire is 3.2 x 10⁻¹⁶ N  and opposite the current

b) Hence, the magnitude of the magnetic force on the electron if the electron velocity is directed (b) parallel to the wire in the direction of the current is 3.2 x 10⁻¹⁶ N  and away from the wire.

c) Hence, the magnitude of the magnetic forces on the electrons if the electron velocity is perpendicular to the two directions defined by (a) and (b) is 3.2 x 10⁻¹⁶ N  and (a) direction - opposite the current, (b) same direction as current.

Anna007 [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

distance travelled

s = 2πR

= 2 X 3.14 X 140

= 880 m

final velocity = v

initial velocity = u

distance travelled = s

time = 60 s

s = ut + 1/2 at²

880 = .5 x a x 60²

a = .244 m/s²

final velocity v = at

= .244 x 60

= 14.66

centripetal acceleration at final moment

v² /R

14.66 X 14.66 / 140

= 1.53 m/s⁻²

1.53 m/s²

this is centripetal acceleration which acts towards the centre.

tangential acceleration calculated a _t = .244

redial acceleration ( centripetal ) = 1.53

Resultant acceleration

R²= 1.53² + .244 ²

R = 1.55 m/s²

total force = 1.55 x 76

= 118 N

Angelina_Jolie [31]

free fall is a special type of motion in which the only force acting upon an object is gravity.  all objects will fall with the same rate of acceleration, regardless of their mass.
