Answer:
3.28 cm
Explanation:
To solve this problem, you need to know that a magnetic field B perpendicular to the movement of a proton that moves at a velocity v will cause a Force F experimented by the particle that is orthogonal to both the velocity and the magnetic Field. When a particle experiments a Force orthogonal to its velocity, the path it will follow will be circular. The radius of said circle can be calculated using the expression:
r =
Where m is the mass of the particle, v is its velocity, q is its charge and B is the magnitude of the magnetic field.
The mass and charge of a proton are:
m = 1.67 * 10^-27 kg
q = 1.6 * 10^-19 C
So, we get that the radius r will be:
r = = 0.0328 m, or 3.28 cm.
Answer:
The new distance is d = 0.447 d₀
Explanation:
The electric out is given by Coulomb's Law
F = k q₁ q₂ / r²
This electric force is in balance with tension.
We reduce the charge of sphere B to 1/5 of its initial value (=q₂ = q₂ / 5) than new distance (d = n d₀)
dat
q₁ =
q₂ =
r = d₀
In order for the deviation to maintain the electric force it should not change, so we apply the Coulomb equation for the two points
F = k q₁ q₂ / d₀²
F = k q₁ (q₂ / 5) / (n d₀)²
.k q₁ q₂ / d₀² = q₁ q₂ / (5 n² d₀²)
5 n² = 1
n = √ 1/5
n = 0.447
The new distance is
d = 0.447 d₀
