Question

The magnetic field of the Earth at a certain location is directed vertically downward and has a Magnitude of 2 times 10^minus 4T. A proton is moving horizontally towards the west in this field with a speed of 8 times 10 m/s. What is the direction and magnitude of the magnetic force the field exerts on this changes? What is the radius of the circular are followed by this proton? A 50-turn rectangular coil of dimensions 5.0 cm times 10.0 cm is dropped from a position where B = 0 to a new position where B = 0.50 T and is directetd perpendicular to the plane of yhe coil. Calculate the resulting average emf induced in the coil if the displacement occurs in 0.25s.

Explanation / Answer

(9). magnetic field B = 2x10 -4 T

Speed v = 8 x10 6 m/s

Charge of proton q = 1.6 x10 -19 C

Mass of proton m = 1.67 x10 -27 kg

Direction : out of the paper i.e., along positive Z direction.

(b).In magnetic field ,Bvq = mv 2/ r

                                Bq = mv/r

From this radius r = mv/Bq

                          =(1.67 x10 -27 )(8x10 6) /(2x10 -4 )(1.6 x10 -19 )

                          = 417.5 m
