In a microwave oven, electrons describe circular motion in a magnetic field within a special tube called amagnetron; as you'll l

QveST [7]

Answer:

The magnetic field strength and the electrons' energy are 0.077 T and 0.8906 eV.

Explanation:

Given that,

Diameter = 2.62 mm

Frequency = 2.15 GHz

(A). We need to calculate the magnetic field strength

Using formula of the magnetic field strength

$B=\dfrac{2\pi mf}{e}$

Where, f = frequency

e = charge of electron

Put the value into the formula

$B=\dfrac{2\times3.14\times9.1\times10^{-31}\times2.15\times10^{9}}{1.6\times10^{-19}}$

$B=0.077\ T$

(B). We need to calculate the energy of electron

Using formula of energy

$E=\dfrac{1}{2}m(r\omega)^2$

$E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times9.1\times10^{-31}\times(1.31\times10^{-3}\times2\pi\times2.15\times10^{9})^2$

$E=1.4249\times10^{-16}\ J$

The energy in eV

$1 eV=1.6\times10^{-16}\ J$

$E=\dfrac{1.4249\times10^{-16}}{1.6\times10^{-16}}$

$E=0.8906\ eV$

Hence, The magnetic field strength and the electrons' energy are 0.077 T and 0.8906 eV.

A sample of a gas in a rigid container has an initial pressure of 5 atm at a temperature of 254.5 k. The temperature is decrease

skelet666 [1.2K]

The gas is in a rigid container: this means that its volume remains constant. Therefore, we can use Gay-Lussac law, which states that for a gas at constant volume, the pressure is directly proportional to the temperature. The law can be written as follows:

$\frac{P_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2}{T_2}$

Where P1=5 atm is the initial pressure, T1=254.5 K is the initial temperature, P2 is the new pressure and T2=101.8 K is the new temperature. Re-arranging the equation and using the data of the problem, we can find P2:

$P_2 = T_2 \frac{P_1}{T_1}=(101.8 K) \frac{5 atm}{254.5 K}=2 atm$
