Chapter 29 Problem 78

Question

Protons having a kinetic energy of 5.00 MeV (1 eV 5 1.60 3 10219 J) are moving in the positive x direction and enter a magnetic field B S 5 0.050 0k^ T directed out of the plane of the page and extending from x 5 0 to x 5 1.00 m as shown in Figure P29.78. (a) Ignoring relativistic effects, find the angle a between the initial velocity vector of the proton beam and the velocity vector after the beam emerges from the field. (b) Calculate the y component of the protons momenta as they leave the magnetic field.

Solution

Step 1 of 3)

The first step in solving 29 problem number 78 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Protons having a kinetic energy of 5.00 MeV (1 eV 5 1.60 3 10219 J) are moving in the positive x direction and enter a magnetic field B S 5 0.050 0k^ T directed out of the plane of the page and extending from x 5 0 to x 5 1.00 m as shown in Figure P29.78. (a) Ignoring relativistic effects, find the angle a between the initial velocity vector of the proton beam and the velocity vector after the beam emerges from the field. (b) Calculate the y component of the protons momenta as they leave the magnetic field.
From the textbook chapter Magnetic Fields you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
