The aurora is caused when electrons and protons, moving in the earth’s magnetic field of ≈5.0×10−5t, collide with molecules of t

The question is incomplete. I can help you by adding the information missing. They want you to calculate a) the radius of the cyclotron orbit for an electron with speed 1.0 * 10^6 m/s^2 and b) the radius of a cyclotron orbit for a proton with speed 5.0 * 10^4 m/s.

The two tasks involve combining the equations of the magnectic force and the centripetal force in a circular motion.

When you do that, you will obtain an expression to find the radius of the circular motion, which is the radius of the cyclotron that impulses the particles.

a)

Magentic force, F = q*v*B

q is the charge of the electron = 1.6 * 10^ -19 C
v is the speed = 1.0 * 10 ^ 6 m/s
B is the magentic field = 5.0 * 10 ^-5 T

Centripetal force, F = m*Ac = m * v^2 / R

where,

Ac = centripetal acceleration
m = mass of the electron = 9.11 * 10 ^-31 kg
R = the radius of the orbit

Now equal the two forces: q*v*B = m * v^2 / R => R = m*v / (q*B)

=> R = (9.11 * 10^31 kg) (1.0*10^6m/s) / [ (1.6 * 10^-19C)* (5.0 * 10^-5T) ]

=> R = 0.114 m

b) The equations are the same, just now use the speed, charge and mass of the proton instead of those of the electron.

R = m*v / (qB) = (1.66*10^-27 kg)(5.0*10^4 m/s) / [(1.6*10^-19C)(5*10^-5T)]

=> R = 10.4 m

The mathematical symbol for period is O A. A O B. v OC. T O D. f

Advocard [28]

Answer: C. T

Explanation:

Period is a unit of time; and in the context of waves or oscillations it is defined as "the time elapsed between two equivalent points on the wave or oscillation".

It is important to note Period (denoted by $T$ ) is one of the most important factors (along with the amplitude, frequency and velocity) to describe and characterize a wave.

In addition, Period has an inverse relation with the frequency $f$ , this means that if we are given the frequency of a wave, we can inmediatly know its Period.

The magnetic force on a straight wire 0.69 m long is 1.5 x 10-3 N. The current in the wire is 16.9 A. What is the magnitude of t

VikaD [51]

Answer:

Magnitude of magnetic field is 1.29 x 10⁻⁴ T

Explanation:

Given :

Current flowing through the wire, I = 16.9 A

Length of wire. L = 0.69 m

Magnetic force experienced by the wire, F = 1.5 x 10⁻³ N

Consider B be the applied magnetic field.

The relation to determine the magnetic force experienced by current carrying wire is:

F = ILBsinθ

Here θ is the angle between magnetic field and current carrying wire.

According to the problem, the magnetic field and current carrying wire are perpendicular to each other, that means θ = 90⁰. So, the above equation becomes:

F = ILB

$B=\frac{F}{IL}$
