Explanation / Answer

1) magnetic field = (4.5 * 10-16 )/(1.6 * 10-19 * 5.0 * 106)

                            = 5.625 * 10-4 T

2)   radius   = ( 9.11 * 10-31 * 3.5 * 106)/(1.6 * 10-19 * 3.5 * 10-3)

                   = 5.69 mm

3)    radius for the 11B ions =   (11/10) * 14

                                          = 15.4 cm

4)      velocity of ion =   sqrt(2 * 1.6 * 10-19 * 9000 * 6.023 * 1023/0.009)

                                = 4.39 * 105 m/sec

   => magnetic field = (0.009/ 6.023 * 1023) * 4.39 * 105/(1.6 * 10-19 * 0.25)

                                = 0.164 T

5)   Force = 1.6 * 10-19 * 2 * 107 * 0.40

                    = 1.28 * 10-12 N                (towards east)

6) acceleration = (1.6 * 10-19 * 3 * 106 * 0.80 * sin35)/(9.11 * 10-31)

                          =   2.417 * 1017   m/sec2

7)   radius = (1.67 * 10-27 * 107)/(1.6 * 10-19 * 0.70)

                 = 0.149 m

8) magnetic field =   900/4000

                               = 0.225 T

9) Force = 2.5 * 2.6 * 0.58 * 10-3

               = 3.77   mN

10)   torque = 400 * 4.3 * 25 * 10-4 * 90 * 10-3

                      =    0.387 N.m

11)    magnetic field   = 2 * 10-7 * 1000/15

                               = 1.33 * 10-5 T

12)    magnetic field   = 2 * 10-7 * (6/0.1   - 15/0.2)

                               = 3 * 10-6 T

    Direction = inward plane of paper

13) current = ( 2 * 0.15 * 0.20)/(4 * 3.14 * 10-7 * 50)

                    =   955.41 A

14)   potential difference = 2 * 6 * 5 * 10-3

                                       = 0.06 V

15)   magnetic flux swept through per second = 0.06 Wb/sec

16) current = (3 * 2 * 0.66 * 10-3)/0.22

                     = 0.018 A

17) w = 2 * 3.14 * 60

           = 376.8 rad/sec

18)   amplitude = 240 * 1.414 = 339.36 V

19)    rotational speed   = (4.50)/(400 * 0.180 *3.14 * 0.02 * 0.02)

                                   = 49.76 rad/sec

20)   flux through it = 5 * 10-3 * cos60

                              =   2.5 * 10-3 T.m2
