An electron travels west to east with a kinetic energy of 10 keV. The Earth's magnetic field in Pittsburgh is 19,911.5 nT in the

north direction, 3,257.1 nT in the west direction and 48,381.8 nT in the vertical direction. a) What is the force acting on the electron? b) What is the acceleration of the electron?

Explanation:

It is given that,

Kinetic energy of the electron, E_k=10\ keV=10^4\ eV=1.6\times 10^{-15}\ J

Let the east direction is +x direction, north direction is +y direction and vertical direction is +z direction.    

The magnetic field in north direction, B_y=19911.5\ nT

The magnetic field in west direction, B_x=-3257.1\ nT

The magnetic field in vertical direction, B_z=48381.8 \ nT

Magnetic field, B=(-3257.1i+19911.5j+48381.8k)\ nT

Firstly calculating the velocity of the electron using the kinetic energy formulas as :

E_k=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2E_k}{m}}

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 1.6\times 10^{-15}}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}}

v=5.92\times 10^7 i\ m/s (as it is moving from west to east)

The force acting on the charged particle in the magnetic field is given by :

F=q(v\times B)

F=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times (5.92\times 10^7 i\times (-3257.1i+19911.5j+48381.8k)\times 10^{-9})

Since, i\times j=k\ \\j\times k=i\\k\times i=j

And, i\times i=j\times j=k\times k=0

F=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times [1178 k-2864.20j]

|F|=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times \sqrt{1178^2+2864.20^2}

F=4.95\times 10^{-16}\ N

(b) Let a is the acceleration of the electron. It can be calculated as :

a=\dfrac{F}{m}

a=\dfrac{4.95\times 10^{-16}}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}

a=5.43\times 10^{14}\ m/s^2

Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:

The answer is "Option C".

Explanation:

Wedging Freeze is generated by repeated freezing. Freeze wedging occurs, whenever the water is turned into ice as a result of the 9 percent expansion. When it freezes, cracks full of water are forced to separate further. and other options are incorrect, that can be described as follows:

  • In option A, It is a state where the element converts into a liquid, that's why it is not correct.
  • In option B, It is a reaction in which the bonds of water is divided into particular substance, that's why it is not correct.
  • In option D, It is a form of mechanical or physical rock weathering, that's it is not correct.

A particular coaxial cable is comprised of inner and outer conductors having radii 1 mm and 3 mm respectively, separated by air.
noname [10]

Answer:

The value is  \rho_s  =  4.026 *10^{-6} \  C/m^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The radius of the inner conductor  is  r_1 = 1 \ mm =  0.001 \ m

    The radius of the outer conductor is  r_2 = 3 \ mm = 0.003 \  m

    The potential at the outer conductor is  V = 1.5 kV  =  1.5 *10^{3} \  V

Generally the capacitance per length of the capacitor like set up of the two conductors is

      C= \frac{2 * \pi * \epsilon_o }{ ln [\frac{r_2}{r_1} ]}

Here \epsilon_o is the permitivity of free space with value  \epsilon_o =  8.85*10^{-12} C/(V \cdot m)

=>   C= \frac{2 *  3.142  * 8.85*10^{-12}  }{ ln [\frac{0.003}{0.001} ]}

=>   C= 50.6 *10^{-12} \  F/m

Generally given that the potential  of the outer conductor with respect to the inner conductor is positive it then mean that the outer conductor is positively charge

Generally the line  charge density of the outer  conductor is mathematically represented as

      \rho_l  =  C *  V

=>   \rho_d  =  50.6*10^{-12} *  1.5*10^{3}

=>   \rho_d  =  7.59*10^{-8} \  C/m

Generally the surface charge density is mathematically represented as

        \rho_s  =  \frac{\rho_l }{2 \pi * r_2 }    here 2 \pi r = (circumference \ of \ outer \  conductor  )

=>    \rho_s  =  \frac{7.59 *10^{-8} }{2* 3.142 * 0.003 }

=>    \rho_s  =  4.026 *10^{-6} \  C/m^2
