FIGURE 1 shows part of a mass spectrometer. The whole arrangement is in a vacuum. Negative ions of mass 2.84 x 10-20 kg and char

ge -2.0 x 10-19 C are produced at S, which is at a potential difference of - 3000 V. The ions are accelerated in a narrow beam towards H, a hole in a hollow metal container. Inside the container, the negative ions enter a region where an electric field of strength E and a magnetic field of strength 0.83 T act.
Is it possible for the io
ns to exit slit P without being deflected in the fields?
Explain, with the aid of diagram.​

Yes, the ions can exit slit P without being deflected, if the electric field strength is 170.6 N/C

Explanation:

When the ions are inside the container, they are subjected to two forces, with directions opposite to each other:

  • The force due to the electric field, whose magnitude is F_E=qE, where q is the charge of the ion and E is the strength of the electric field
  • The force due to the magnetic field, whose magnitude is F_B=qvB, where v is the speed of the ions and B is the strength of the magnetic field

The ions will move straight and undeflected if the two forces are equal and opposite. By using Fleming Left Hand rule, we notice that the magnetic force on the (negative) ions point upward: this means that the electric field must be also upward (so that the electric force on the ions is downward). Then, the two forces are balanced if

F_E = F_B

which translates into

qE=qvB\\\rightarrow v = \frac{E}{B}

Therefore, if the speed of the ions is equal to this ratio, the ions will go undeflected.

We can even calculate the value of E at which this occurs. In fact, we know that the ions are earlier accelerated by a potential difference V=-3000 V, so we have that their kinetic energy is given by the change in electric potential energy:

qV=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

q=-2.0\cdot 10^{-19}C\\m=2.84\cdot 10^{-20}kg

Solving for v, the speed,

v=\sqrt{\frac{2qV}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(-2.0\cdot 10^{-19})(-3000)}{2.84\cdot 10^{-20}}}=205.6 m/s

And since the magnetic field strength is

B = 0.83 T

The strength of the electric field must be

E=vB=(205.6 m/s)(0.83 T)=170.6 N/C

What is the difference between current electricity and static electricity
Allisa [31]

Answer:

The most significant difference between the static and current electricity is that in static electricity the charges are at rest and they are accumulating on the surface of the insulator. Whereas in current electricity the electrons are moving inside the conductor.

The motion of a particle along a straight line is described by the equation x=6+4t2 -t 4 , where x is in meter and t is in secon
Aleks [24]

Answer:

The position of the particle is 6m

The velocity of the particle is 16 m/s in negative direction

The acceleration of the object is -40 m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

motion of the particle along a straight line as x = 6 + 4t² - t⁴

The position of the object when t = 2s

x = 6 + 4(2)² - (2)⁴

x = 6 + 16 - 16

x = 6m

The velocity of the object when t = 2s

Velocity = dx/dt

dx/dt = 8t - 4t³

when t = 2s

Velocity = 8(2) - 4(2)³

Velocity = 16 - 32

Velocity = -16m/s

Velocity = 16 m/s (in negative direction)

The acceleration of the object when t = 2s

Acceleration = d²x/dt² = 8 - 12t²

Acceleration = 8 - 12 (2)²

Acceleration =  -40 m/s²
