Q10 of 91 Page 229

Let and denote electric and magnetic fields in a frame S. and in another frame S’ moving with respect to S at a velocity Two of the following equations are wrong. Identify them.

Formula used:


Electric force is given by


Where F is electric force


q is electric charge =


E is electric field


Magnetic force is given by


Where F is magnetic force


q is electric charge =


v is velocity


B is magnetic force


From the above formulas and


From the dimensional analysis we can write equations as


i.


ii.


So only options A and D are correct.

Two ions have equal masses but one is singly ionized and the other is doubly ionized. They are projected from the same place in a uniform magnetic field with the same velocity perpendicular to the field.

An electron is moving along the positive x-axis. You want to apply a magnetic field for a short time so that the electron may reverse its direction and move parallel to the negative x-axis. This can be done by applying the magnetic field along.

An alpha particle is projected vertically upward with a speed of 3.0 × 104 kg s–1 in a region where a magnetic field of magnitude 1.0 T exists in the direction south to north. Find the magnetic force that acts on the α-particle.

 2

An electron is projected horizontally with a kinetic energy of 10 keV. A magnetic filed of strength 1.0 × 10–7 T exists in the vertically upward direction.

(a) Will the electron deflect toward right or towards left of its motion?


(b) Calculate the sideways deflection of the electron in travelling through 1m. Make appropriate approximations.
