Question
I am stuck on this magnetism homework. Guys Please show me how to solve it. Thank You!
In a linear accelerator, protons are accelerated from rest through a potential difference to a speed of approximiately 3.1 x 10^6 m/s. The resulting beam produces a current of 2x10^6 amp.
a) Determing the potential difference through which the protons were accelerated?
b) If the beam is stopped in a target, determine the amount of thermal energy that is produced in the target in one minute?
The proton beams enters a region of uniform magnetic field B, as shown above, that causes the beam to follow a semicircular path.
Explanation / Answer
q V = 1/2 m v^2 (V is potential, v is velocity, m is mass, q is charge on particle) 1.6 x10^-19 x V = 1/2 x 1.67x10^-27 x (3.1x10^6)^2 V =50152 Volts of Potential
