Chapter 22 Problem 26P

Question

When a charged particle enters a region of uniform magnetic field, it follows a circular path, as indicated in Figure 22–34.

(a) Is this particle positively or negatively charged? Explain.

(b) Suppose that the magnetic field has a magnitude of 0.180 T, the particle’s speed is

\(6.0 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\), and the radius of its path is \(52.0 \mathrm{~cm}\). Find the mass of the particle, given that its charge has a magnitude of

\(1.60 \times 10^{-19} \mathrm{C}\). Give your result in atomic mass units, u, where

\(1 u=1.67 \times 10^{-27} \mathrm{~kg\)

Solution

Step 1 of 5

a)

Here, we have to find whether the particle is negatively charged or positively.

The magnetic field points into the page as shown in the figure.

The force is towards right and the velocity is upwards.
