Chapter 19 Problem 19.29

Question

Figure P19.29a is a diagram of a device called a velocity selector, in which particles of a specic velocity pass through undeected while those with greater or lesser velocities are deected either upwards or downwards. An electric eld is directed perpendicular to a magnetic eld, producing an electric force and a magnetic force on the charged particle that can be equal in magnitude and opposite in direction (Fig. P19.29b) and hence cancel. Show that particles with a speed of v E/B will pass through the velocity selector undeected.

Solution

Step 1 of 7)

The first step in solving 19 problem number 29 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Figure P19.29a is a diagram of a device called a velocity selector, in which particles of a specic velocity pass through undeected while those with greater or lesser velocities are deected either upwards or downwards. An electric eld is directed perpendicular to a magnetic eld, producing an electric force and a magnetic force on the charged particle that can be equal in magnitude and opposite in direction (Fig. P19.29b) and hence cancel. Show that particles with a speed of v E/B will pass through the velocity selector undeected.
From the textbook chapter Magnetism you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
