Chapter 28 Problem 22

Question

In a nuclear experiment a proton with kinetic energy 1.0 Me V moves in a circular path in a uniform magnetic field. What energy must (a) an alpha particle (q = +2e, 111 = 4.0 u) and (b) a deuteron (q = +e, 111 = 2.0 u) have if they are to circulate in the same circular path?

Solution

Step 1 of 5)

The first step in solving 28 problem number 22 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: In a nuclear experiment a proton with kinetic energy 1.0 Me V moves in a circular path in a uniform magnetic field. What energy must (a) an alpha particle (q = +2e, 111 = 4.0 u) and (b) a deuteron (q = +e, 111 = 2.0 u) have if they are to circulate in the same circular path?
From the textbook chapter Magnetic Fields you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
