Chapter 19 Problem 19.52

Question

An electron enters a region of magnetic eld of magnitude 0.010 0 T, traveling perpendicular to the linear boundary of the region. The direction of the eld is perpendicular to the velocity of the electron. (a) Determine the time it takes for the electron to leave the eld-lled region, noting that its path is a semicircle. (b) Find the kinetic energy of the electron if the radius of its semicircular path is 2.00 cm.

Solution

Step 1 of 3)

The first step in solving 19 problem number 52 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: An electron enters a region of magnetic eld of magnitude 0.010 0 T, traveling perpendicular to the linear boundary of the region. The direction of the eld is perpendicular to the velocity of the electron. (a) Determine the time it takes for the electron to leave the eld-lled region, noting that its path is a semicircle. (b) Find the kinetic energy of the electron if the radius of its semicircular path is 2.00 cm.
From the textbook chapter Magnetism you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
