An electric field of 2.09 kV/m and a magnetic field of 0.358 T act on a moving electron to produce no net force. If the fields a
1 answer:
Answer:
The velocity is
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The electric field is
The magnetic field is
Generally the force experienced by the electron due to the magnetic field is
Generally the force experienced by the electron due to the electric field is
Since from the question the net force is zero then
=>

<h2>Answer:</h2>
Torque = <em>2.05 x 10²⁸ Nm</em>
Energy = <em>3.54 x 10³³ J</em>
Average power = <em>1.02 x 10²⁸ W</em>
<h2>Explanation:</h2>(a) Torque (τ) is the rotational effect of a given force.
It is given by
τ = I x α -------------(i)
Where;
I = rotational inertia of the object
α = angular acceleration of the object.
In this case, the object is the Earth. Therefore,
I = 9.71 x 10³⁷ kg m²
α = ω / t
Where;
ω = angular velocity of earth = 2π rad / day
<em>Since </em>
<em>1 day = 24 hours and 1 hour = 3600seconds</em>
<em>1 day = 24 x 3600 seconds = 86400seconds</em>
<em>=> ω = 2π rad / 86400seconds</em>
<em>=> ω = 7.29 × 10⁻⁵ rad/s</em>
<em />
t = 4 days = 4 x 24 x 3600 seconds = 345600 seconds
=> α = ω / t
=> α = 7.29 × 10⁻⁵ / 345600
=> α = (7.29 × 10⁻⁵) / (3.456 x 10⁵)
=> α = (7.29 × 10⁻⁵⁻⁵) / (3.456)
=> α = (7.29 × 10⁻¹⁰) / (3.456)
=> α = 2.11 × 10⁻¹⁰ rad/s²
Now substitute the values of I and α into equation (i)
τ = 9.71 x 10³⁷ x 2.11 × 10⁻¹⁰
τ = 9.71 x 10²⁷ x 2.11
τ = 20.5 x 10²⁷ Nm
τ = 2.05 x 10²⁸ Nm
(ii) The energy (rotational energy) E is given by;
E = x I x ω
E = x 9.71 x 10³⁷ x 7.29 × 10⁻⁵
E = 35.4 x 10³² J
E = 3.54 x 10³³ J
(iii) The average power P, is given by;
P = E / t
P = 3.54 x 10³³ / 345600
P = 1.02 x 10²⁸ W
