4.20 Magnetic field, B = 0.75 T

Accelerating voltage, V = 15 kV = 15 * 10 - 3 V

Electrostatic field, E = 9.0 * 10 5 V/m

Let the mass of electron = m, Charge of the electron = e, Velocity of the electron = v

Then kinetic energy of the electron = eV

1 2 m v 2 = eV or e m = v 2 2 V ………….(1)

Since the particle remains un-deflected by electric and magnetic field, we can infer that the electric field is balancing the magnetic field.

Hence eE = evB or v = E B ………(2)

Combining equation (1) and (2), we get

e m = 1 2 ( E B ) 2 V = E 2 2 V B 2 = ( 9.0 * 10 5 ) 2 2 * 15000 * 0.75 2 = 48 * 10 6 C/kg

This value of specific charge e/m is equal to the value of deuteron or deuterium ions. This is not a unique answer. Other possible answers ar

4.19 Magnetic field strength, B = 0.15 T

Charge on the electron, e = 1.6 * 10 - 19 C

Mass of the electron, m = 9.1 * 10 - 31 k g

Potential difference, V = 2.0 kV = 2 * 10 3 V

Thus the kinetic energy of the electron = eV = 1 2 m v 2 , where v = velocity of electron

v = 2 e V m …….(1)

Magnetic force on the electron provides the required centripetal force of the electron. Hence, electron traces a circular path of radius r

Magnetic force on the electron = Bev

Centripetal force m v 2 r

Hence, Bev = m v 2 r

r = m v B e ………………(2)

From equation (1) and (2), we get

r = m B e 2 e V m 1 2

= 9.1 * 10 - 31 0.15 * 1.6 * 10 - 19 * 2 * 1.6 * 10 - 19 * 2 * 10 3 9.1 * 10 - 31 1 2

r = 1.006 * 10 - 3 m = 1.0 mm

Hence, the electron has a circular trajectory of radius 1.0 mm normal to the magnetic field.

4.18 Answer the following questions:

(a) A magnetic field that varies in magnitude from point to point but has a constant direction (east to west) is set up in a chamber. A charged particle enters the chamber and travels undeflected along a straight path with constant speed. What can you say about the initial velocity of the particle?

(b) A charged particle enters an environment of a strong and non-uniform magnetic field varying from point to point both in magnitude and direction, and comes out of it following a complicated trajectory. Would its final speed equal the initial speed if it suffered no collisions with the environment?

(c)

4.18 (a) The initial velocity of the particle is either parallel or anti-parallel to the magnetic field. Hence, it travels along a straight path without suffering any deflection in the field.

(b) Yes, the final speed of the particle will be equal to its initial speed. This because magnetic force can change the direction of velocity, not its magnitude.

(c) This moving electron can remain undeflected if the electric force acting on it is equal and opposite of magnetic field. Magnetic force is directed towards the south. According to Fleming's left hand rule, magnetic field should be applied in a vertically downward direction.

4.17 Inner radius of the toroid, r 1 = 25 cm = 0.25 m

Outer radius of the toroid, r 2 = 26 cm = 0.26 m

Number of turns on the coil, N = 3500

Current in the coil, I = 11 A

Magnetic field outside a toroid is zero. It is non-zero only inside the core of a toroid.

Magnetic field inside the core of a toroid is given by the relation,

B = μ 0 N I l . where μ 0 = Permeability of free space = 4 π * 10 - 7 T m A - 1

L = length of the toroid = 2 π ( r 1 + r 2 2 ) = π (0.25 + 0.26)= 1.6022

B = ( 4 π * 10 - 7 * 3500 * 11 1.6022 ) = 3.0 * 10 - 2 T

Magnetic field in the empty space surrounded by the toroid is zero.

4.16 Radius of the circular coil = R

Number of turns on the coil = N

Current in the coil= I

Magnetic field at a point on its axis at a distance x is given as:

B = μ 0 I R 2 N 2 ( x 2 + R 2 ) 3 2

where μ 0 = Permeability of free space = 4 π * 10 - 7 T m A - 1

If the magnetic field at the centre of the coil is considered, then x = 0, then

B = μ 0 I R 2 N 2 ( 0 + R 2 ) 3 2 = μ 0 I N 2 R

This is the familiar result for magnetic field at the centre of the coil.

Radius of two parallel co-axial circular coils = R

Number of turns on each coil = N

Current in both the coils = I μ 0 I R 2 N 2 { ( R 2 - d ) 2 + R 2 } 3 2 + { ( R 2 + d ) 2 + R 2 } 3 2

Distance between both the coils = R

Let us consider point Q at a distance d from the centre.

Then one coil is at a distance of + d from point Q

4.15 Magnetic field strength, B = 100 G = 100 10 - 4 T

Number of turns per unit length, n = 1000 turns / m

Current flowing in the coil, I = 15 A

μ 0 = Permeability of free space = 4 π * 10 - 7 T m A - 1

Magnetic field is given by the relation,

B = μ 0 n I or nI = B μ 0 = 100 * 10 - 4 4 π * 10 - 7 = 7957.75 A m - 1 8000 A m - 1

If the length of the coil is taken as 50 cm, radius 4 cm, number of turns 400 and current 10 A, then these values are not unique for the given purpose. There is always a possibility of some adjustments with limits.

4.14 For coil X:

Radius, r 1 = 16 cm = 0.16 m

Number of turns, n 1 = 20

Current, I 1 = 16 A

For coil Y:

Radius, r 2 = 10 cm = 0.10 m

Number of turns, n 2 = 25

Current, I 2 = 18 A

Magnetic field due to coil X at their centre is given by the relation:

B 1 = μ 0 n 1 I 1 2 r 1 , where = Permeability of free space = 4 π * 10 - 7 T m A - 1
B 1 = 4 π * 10 - 7 * 20 * 16 2 * 0.16 = 1.257 * 10 - 3 T (towards East)

Magnetic field due to coil Y at their centre is given by the relation:

B 2 = μ 0 n 2 I 2 2 r 2 , where μ 0 = Permeability of free space = 4 π * 10 - 7 T m A - 1

B 2 = 4 π * 10 - 7 * 25 * 18 2 * 0.10 = 2.827 * 10 - 3 T (towards West)

The net magnetic field B = B 2 - B 1 = 2.827 * 10 - 3 - 1.257 * 10 - 3 = 1.57 * 10 - 3 T ( towards West)

4.13 Number of turns of the circular coil, n = 30

Radius of the coil, r = 8.0 cm = 0.08 m

Area of the coil, A = π r 2 = π * 0.08 2 = 0.0201 m 2

Current flowing in the coil, I = 6.0 A

Magnetic field strength, B = 1 T

Angle between the field line and normal of the coil surface, θ = 60°

The coil experiences a toque in the magnetic field, hence it turns.

The counter torque is given by the relation,

τ = n I B A sin ? θ = 30 * 6 * 1 * 0.0201 sin ? 60 ° = 3.133 N

Since the magnitude of the torque is not dependent on the shape of the coil, it depends only on the area. Hence he answer will not change if the circular coil is replaced with a planar coil of same area.

4.12 Let the frequency of revolution = ν

Angular frequency = ω = 2 π ν

Now, velocity of electron, v = r ω

Since in circular orbit, magnetic force is balanced by the centripetal force, we can write

evB = m v 2 r or eB = m v r = m ( r ω ) r = 2 π ν m r r

This frequency is independent of the speed of electron.

ν = 1.6 * 10 - 19 * 6.5 * 10 - 4 2 π * 9.1 * 10 - 31 = 18.19 * 10 6 Hz = 18.19 MHz

4.11 Magnetic field strength, B = 6.5 G = 6.5 * 10 - 4 T

Speed of electron, v = 4.8 * 10 6 m/s

Charge of electron, e = 1.6 * 10 - 19 C

Mass of electron, m = 9.1 * 10 - 31 kg

Angle between the shot electron and the magnetic field, θ = 90 °

Magnetic force exerted on the electron in the magnetic field is given as:

F = evB sin ? θ

This force provides centripetal force to the moving electron. Hence, the electron starts moving in a circular path of radius r

The centripetal force exerted on electron, F c = m v 2 r

In equilibrium, the centripetal force exerted on electron = magnetic force on the electron

F = F c

evB sin ? θ = m v 2 r

r = m v e B sin ? θ = 9.1 * 10 - 31 * 4.8 * 10 6 1.6 * 10 - 19 * 6.5 * 10 - 4 * s i n 90 ° = 4.20 * 10 - 2 m = 4.20 cm
