Answer: The correct answer is a thick wire.

Explanation:

In the given options of the problem, a car battery is needed to generate an electrical current. It forces the electrons to flow. It makes the current flow in the circuit.

Solar cell is a device which converts the solar energy into the electrical energy. It can increase the voltage and generate an electrical current.

Generator is a device which converts the mechanical energy into the electrical energy. It can increase the voltage and generate an electrical current.

A thick wire is not used to increase voltage and generate an electrical current. The thick wire has low resistance in comparison to the thin wire.

Therefore, the correct option is (B).

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

Consider an experimental setup where charged particles (electrons or protons) are first accelerated by an electric field and then injected into a region of constant magnetic field with a field strength of 0.65T.

part (a): What is the potential difference, in volts, required in the first part of the experiment to accelerate electrons to a speed of 6.2 x 10⁷m/s?

part (b): Find the radius of curvature, in meters, of the path of a proton accelerated trhough this same potential after the proton crosses into the region with the magnetic field.

part (c) what is the ratio of the radii of curvature for a proton and an electron traveling through this apparatus?

Answer: (a) V = - 109.44 x 10² V

(b) $r_{p}=$ 9.95 x 10⁻¹ m

Explanation: (a) <u>Potential</u> <u>difference</u> is defined as the energy a charged particle has between two points in a circuit. It is calculated as

$\Delta V=\frac{pe}{q}$

where

pe is potential energy

q is charge

and its unit is joule/coulomb of Volts (V).

To determine potential difference required to accelerate a particle, we have to use the principle that the total energy of a system is conserved and one transforms into the other.

In this case, potential energy is transformed in kinetic energy:

pe = V.q

ke = $\frac{1}{2}m.v^{2}$

$V.q=\frac{1}{2} m.v^{2}$

$V=\frac{m.v^{2}}{2q}$

Calculating:

$V=\frac{9.11.10^{-31}(6.2.10^{7})^{2}}{2(-1.6.10^{-19})}$

V = $-109.44$ x 10²V

Potential difference of an electron to have speed of 6.2x10⁷m/s is $-109.44$ x 10²V.

(b) A particle has a circular motion when there is a magnetic force acting on it.

Velocity and magnetic force are always perpendicular to each other. Because of that, there is no work on the particle and so, kinetic energy and speed are constant. Since magnetic force supplies centripetal force:

$F_{mag} = F_{c}$
