Question

(1) v = ?2K/me

where K is the electron's kinetic energy and me is the electron mass. The component of velocity along the x direction is then:

(2) vx = v cos? = ?2K/me cos? = _____ m/s

The magnitude of the velocity component in the yz plane, however, is:

(3) vyz = v sin? = ?2K/me sin? = ______ m/s

An electron with kinetic energy K = 8.0 An electron with kinetic energy K = 10-18 J enters a region where there is a uniform magnetic field of magnitude 1.1 T directed along the positive x axis. Its initial direction is at an angle of 19 A degree with respect to the x axis. Find how far the electron moves along the x axis in the time it takes to complete one cycle of its circular motion as seen in the yz plane. (1) v = ?2K/me where K is the electron's kinetic energy and me is the electron mass. The component of velocity along the x direction is then: (2) vx = v cos? = ?2K/me cos? = _____ m/s The magnitude of the velocity component in the yz plane, however, is: (3) vyz = v sin? = ?2K/me sin? = ______ m/s

Explanation / Answer

centrepetal force provided by electron=force on moving charge

mV2/R =Q*vBsin(theta)

KE=0.5mV2

mV2=2KE

2KE=Q*vRBsin(theta)

2*8*10-18=1.6*10-19*4.192*R*sin(19)*1.1*106

16/2.402 *10-5=R

R=66.6*10-5m

2)

VX=Vcos(theta)

=4..192*106*cos(19)

=3.963*106m/s

3)

vyz = v sin(theta)

=4..192*106*sin(19)

=1.364m/s
