(a) $3.59\cdot 10^6 m/s$

The magnetic force acts as centripetal force, so we can write

$qvB= \frac{mv^2}{r}$

where

q is the charge of the particle

v is its speed

B is the magnetic field strength

m is the mass

r is the radius of the circular path

For the alpha particle in the problem,

$q=2e=3.2\cdot 10^{-19} C$

$m=4.00 u = 4\cdot 1.67\cdot 10^{-27} kg=6.68\cdot 10^{-27} kg$

r = 6.40 cm = 0.064 m

B = 1.17 T

Re-arranging the equation and solving for v, we find its speed:

$v=\frac{qBr}{m}=\frac{(3.2\cdot 10^{-19})(1.17)(0.064 m)}{6.68\cdot 10^{-27}}=3.59\cdot 10^6 m/s$

(b) $1.12\cdt 10^{-7} s$

The period of revolution is given by the ratio between the distance travelled in one circle (so, the circumference of the path) and the speed of the particle, so

$T= \frac{2\pi r}{v}$

where

r is the radius of the path

v is the speed

Here we have

r = 6.40 cm = 0.064 m

$v=3.59\cdot 10^6 m/s$

So the period of revolution is

$T= \frac{2\pi (0.064)}{3.59\cdot 10^6}=1.12\cdt 10^{-7} s$

The kinetic energy of a particle is given by

$E_k = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where

m is its mass

v is its speed

For the alpha particle in the problem, we have

$m=4.00 u = 4\cdot 1.67\cdot 10^{-27} kg=6.68\cdot 10^{-27} kg$

$v=3.59\cdot 10^6 m/s$

So its kinetic energy is

$E_k = \frac{1}{2}(6.68\cdot 10^{-27}(3.59\cdot 10^6)^2=4.30\cdot 10^{-14}J$

(d) $1.34\cdot 10^5 V$

When accelerated through a potential difference, a particle gains a kinetic energy equal to the change in electric potential energy - so we can write:

$q \Delta V = E_k$

where the term on the left is the change in electric potential energy, with

q is the charge of the particle

$\Delta V$ is the potential difference

Here we have

$q=2e=3.2\cdot 10^{-19} C$ is the charge of the alpha particle

$4.30\cdot 10^{-14}J$ is the kinetic energy

Re-arranging the formula, we find

$\Delta V=\frac{E_k}{q}=\frac{4.30\cdot 10^{-14}}{3.2\cdot 10^{-19}}=1.34\cdot 10^5 V$

Answer from: Emptypockets451

Explanation:

It is given that,

Charge on alpha, q = 2e

Radius of circular path, r = 6.4 cm = 0.064 m

Mass of alpha particle, m = 4 u

Uniform magnetic field, B = 1.17 T

(a) Magnetic force is balanced by the centripetal force as :

$qvB=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

$v=\dfrac{qrB}{m}$

$v=\dfrac{2\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 0.064\times 1.17 }{6.64\times 10^{-27}}$

$v=3.6\times 10^6\ m/s$

(b) Period of revolution, $T=\dfrac{2\pi r}{v}$

$T=\dfrac{2\pi 0.064 }{3.6\times 10^6}$

$T=1.11\times 10^{-7}\ s$

$E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 6.64\times 10^{-27}\times (3.6\times 10^6)^2$

$E=4.3\times 10^{-14}\ J$

$E=268750\ eV$

(d) Potential energy = Kinetic energy

2eV=E

$2eV=268750\ eV$

V = 134375 volts

Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer from: Quest

electromagnetic shielding is the practice of reducing the electromagnetic field in a space by blocking the field with barriers made of conductive or magnetic materials. shielding is typically applied to enclosures to isolate electrical devices from their surroundings, and to cables to isolate wires from the environment through which the cable runs. electromagnetic shielding that blocks radio frequency electromagnetic radiation is also known as rf shielding.

the shielding can reduce the coupling of radio waves, electromagnetic fields and electrostatic fields. a conductive enclosure used to block electrostatic fields is also known as a faraday cage. the amount of reduction depends very much upon the material used, its thickness, the size of the shielded volume and the frequency of the fields of interest and the size, shape and orientation of apertures in a shield to an incident electromagnetic
