Answer:
i. The radius 'r' of the electron's path is 4.23 × m.
ii. The frequency 'f' of the motion is 455.44 KHz.
Explanation:
The radius 'r' of the electron's path is called a gyroradius. Gyroradius is the radius of the circular motion of a charged particle in the presence of a uniform magnetic field.
r =
Where: B is the strength magnetic field, q is the charge, v is its velocity and m is the mass of the particle.
From the question, B = 1.63 × T, v = 121 m/s, Θ =
(since it enters perpendicularly to the field), q = e = 1.6 ×
C and m = 9.11 ×
Kg.
Thus,
r = ÷ sinΘ
But, sinΘ = sin = 1.
So that;
r =
= (9.11 × × 121) ÷ (1.6 ×
× 1.63 ×
)
= 1.10231 × ÷ 2.608 ×
= 4.2266 ×
= 4.23 × m
The radius 'r' of the electron's path is 4.23 × m.
B. The frequency 'f' of the motion is called cyclotron frequency;
f =
= (1.6 × × 1.63 ×
) ÷ (2 ×
× 9.11 ×
)
= 2.608 × ÷ 5.7263 ×
= 455442.4323
f = 455.44 KHz
The frequency 'f' of the motion is 455.44 KHz.
