Medical cyclotrons need efficient sources of protons to inject into their center. In one kind of ion source, hydrogen atoms (i.e

., protons with one orbiting electron) are fed into a chamber where there is a strong magnetic field. Electrons in this chamber are trapped in tight orbits, which greatly increases the chance that they will collide with a hydrogen atom and ionizes it. One such source uses a magnetic field of 70 mT, and the electrons' kinetic energy is 1.2 eV. If the electrons travel in a plane perpendicular to the field, what is the radius of their orbits?

Answer:

r=5.278\times 10^{-4}\ m

Explanation:

Given that:

  • magnetic field intensity, B=0.07\ T
  • kinetic energy of electron, KE=1.2\ eV= 1.2\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\ J= 1.92\times 10^{-19}\ J
  • we have mass of electron, m=9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg

<em>Now, form the mathematical expression of Kinetic Energy:</em>

KE= \frac{1}{2} m.v^2

1.92\times 10^{-19}=0.5\times 9.1\times 10^{-31}\times v^2

v^2=4.2198\times 10^{11}

v=6.496\times 10^6\ m.s^{-1}

<u>from the relation of magnetic and centripetal forces we have the radius as:</u>

r=\frac{m.v}{q.B}

r=\frac{9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 6.496\times 10^6 }{1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 0.07}

r=5.278\times 10^{-4}\ m

Katarina [22]

Answer: minimum speed of launch must be 7.45m/s

Explanation:

Given the following:

Height or distance (s) = 2.83m

The final velocity(Vf) at maximum height = 0

Upward motion, acceleration due to gravity(g) us negative = -9.8m/s^2

From the 3rd equation of motion:

V^2 = u^2 - 2gs

Where V = final velocity

u = initial velocity

Therefore, u = Vi

u = √Vf^2 - 2gs

u = √0^2 - 2(-9.8)(2.83)

u = √0 + 55.468

u = √55.468

u = 7.4476 m/s

u = 7.45m/s

Which would be the best metal to use for the insulated wire?
katrin2010 [14]
Copper, because it has the lowest specific electrical resistance.

specific electrical resistance aka volume resistivity is a fundamental property of a material that quantifies how strongly that material opposes the flow of electric current. A low resistivity indicates a material that readily allows the flow of electric current.
