Capitolo 27, Problema 29

A 150 V battery is connected across two parallel metal plates of area 28.5 cm2 and separation 8.20 mm. A beam of alpha particles (charge +2e, mass 6.64 x 10-27 kg) is accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 1.75 kV and enters the region between the plates perpendicular to the electric field, as shown in Fig. E27.29. What magnitude and direction of magnetic field are needed so that the alpha particles emerge undeflected from between the plates?

First, understand that for the alpha particles to emerge undeflected, the magnetic force must balance the electric force acting on them. The electric force \( F_e \) is given by \( F_e = qE \), where \( q \) is the charge of the alpha particle and \( E \) is the electric field between the plates.
Calculate the electric field \( E \) between the plates using the formula \( E = \frac{V}{d} \), where \( V \) is the potential difference across the plates (150 V) and \( d \) is the separation between the plates (8.20 mm).
The magnetic force \( F_m \) on a moving charge in a magnetic field is given by \( F_m = qvB \), where \( v \) is the velocity of the alpha particle and \( B \) is the magnetic field. For the particle to be undeflected, set \( F_e = F_m \), leading to \( qE = qvB \).
Solve for the velocity \( v \) of the alpha particles using the kinetic energy gained from the potential difference they were accelerated through: \( \frac{1}{2}mv^2 = qV_{acc} \), where \( V_{acc} \) is 1.75 kV. Rearrange to find \( v = \sqrt{\frac{2qV_{acc}}{m}} \).
Finally, solve for the magnetic field \( B \) using the equation \( B = \frac{E}{v} \). Substitute the expressions for \( E \) and \( v \) to find the magnitude of \( B \). The direction of \( B \) should be perpendicular to both the velocity of the particles and the electric field, following the right-hand rule.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Electric Field

An electric field is a region around a charged object where other charged objects experience a force. In this scenario, the electric field is created by the parallel plates connected to a 150-V battery, influencing the motion of charged particles like alpha particles. The field's strength is determined by the voltage and separation between the plates.

Lorentz Force

The Lorentz force is the force experienced by a charged particle moving through electric and magnetic fields. It is the sum of the electric force and the magnetic force acting on the particle. For the alpha particles to remain undeflected, the magnetic force must counterbalance the electric force, requiring precise calculation of the magnetic field's magnitude and direction.

Magnetic Field

A magnetic field exerts a force on moving charged particles, influencing their trajectory. In this problem, the magnetic field must be oriented such that it cancels the deflection caused by the electric field on the alpha particles. The direction and magnitude of the magnetic field are crucial for ensuring the particles pass through the plates without deviation.

In a cyclotron, the orbital radius of protons with energy 300 keV is 16.0 cm. You are redesigning the cyclotron to be used instead for alpha particles with energy 300 keV. An alpha particle has charge q = +2e and mass m = 6.64 x 10-27 kg. If the magnetic field isn't changed, what will be the orbital radius of the alpha particles?
