Question
An electron is accelerated from rest through potential difference V and then enters a region of uniform magnetic field, where it undergoes I uniform circular motion. Figure 28-37 ... gives the radius I' of that motion versus V1I2. The vertical axis scale is set by 1~ = 3.0 mm, and the horizontal 0 axis scale is set by vF2 = 40.0 V1I2. What is the magnitude of the mag- netic field?
Solution
The first step in solving 28 problem number 20 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: An electron is accelerated from rest through potential difference V and then enters a region of uniform magnetic field, where it undergoes I uniform circular motion. Figure 28-37 ... gives the radius I' of that motion versus V1I2. The vertical axis scale is set by 1~ = 3.0 mm, and the horizontal 0 axis scale is set by vF2 = 40.0 V1I2. What is the magnitude of the mag- netic field?
From the textbook chapter Magnetic Fields you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
