Alpha particles, each having a charge of +2e and a mass of 6.64 ×10-27 kg, are accelerated in a uniform 0.50 T magnetic field to

a final orbit radius of 0.50 m. The field is perpendicular to the velocity of the particles. What is the kinetic energy of an alpha particle in the final orbit? (1 eV = 1.60 × 10-19 J, e = 1.60 × 10-19 C)

Answer:

KE=1.2036\times 10^{-12}\ J

Explanation:

Given:

  • charge on the alpha particle, q=2e=3.2\times 10^{-19}\ C
  • mass of the alpha particle, m=6.64\times 10^{-27}\ kg
  • strength of a uniform magnetic field, B=0.5\ T
  • radius of the final orbit, r=0.5\ m

<u>During the motion of a charge the magnetic force and the centripetal forces are balanced:</u>

q.v.B=m.\frac{v^2}{r}

m.v=q.B.r

where:

v = velocity of the alpha particle

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

v=\frac{3.2\times 10^{-19}\times 0.5\times 0.5}{6.64\times 10^{-27}}

v=1.2048\times 10^{7}\ m.s^{-1}

Here we observe that the velocity of the aprticle is close to the velocity of light. So the kinetic energy will be relativistic.

<u>We firstly find the relativistic mass as:</u>

m'=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} } } \times m

m'=\frac{6.64\times 10^{-27}}{\sqrt{1-\frac{(1.2048\times 10^7)^2}{(3\times 10^8)^2} } }

m'=6.6533\times10^{-27}\ kg

now kinetic energy:

KE=m'.c-m.c

KE=6.6533\times 10^{-27}\times (3\times 10^8)^2-6.64\times 10^{-27}\times (3\times 10^8)^2

KE=1.2036\times 10^{-12}\ J

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

W_A_B=-1.6\times 10^{-18} J

Explanation:

Let A and B be two points located in a uniform electric field, A being a distance d from B in the direction of the field. The work that an external force must do to bring a unit positive charge q from the reference point to the point considered against the electric force at constant speed, mathematically is expressed by:

V_B_A=\frac{W_A_B}{q}

Therefore, isolating W_A_B and replacing the data provided:

W_A_B=V_B_A *q=-2*(8\times 10^{-19}) =-1.6\times 10^{-18}J

Calculate the energy transferred by an appliance using mains electricity (230V) if the charge is 150C. Give your answer in kiloj
Otrada [13]

The energy transferred by the appliance using mains electricity is 17.3 KJ

<h3>Data obtained from the question </h3>
  • Potential difference (V) = 230V
  • Charge (Q) = 150 C
  • Energy (E) =?

<h3>How to determine the energy transferred </h3>

The energy transferred can be obtained as follow:

E = ½QV

E = ½ × 150 × 230

E = 75 × 230

E = 17250 J

Divide by 1000 to express in kilojoules

E = 17250 / 1000

E = 17.3 KJ
