An ion jet is accelerated by a potential difference of 10000 V, before entering a magnetic field of 1T. If the ions describe a circular path of 5 cm radius, determine the charge-mass relationship.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Ratio of charge to mass is 8 x 10⁶

Explanation:

q = charge on the ion

V = potential difference = 10000 Volts

B = magnitude of magnetic field = 1 T

m = mass of the ion

[tex]v[/tex] = speed gained by the ion due to potential difference

using conservation of energy

kinetic energy gained by ion = electric potential energy lost

[tex](0.5)mv^{2}=qV[/tex]

[tex]mv^{2} = 2qV[/tex]                       eq-1

r = radius of the circular path described = 5 cm = 0.05 m

radius of circular path is given as

[tex]r = \frac{mv}{qB}[/tex]

taking square both side

[tex]r^{2} = \frac{m^{2}v^{2}}{q^{2}B^{2}}[/tex]

using eq-1

[tex]r^{2} = \frac{2mqV}{q^{2}B^{2}}[/tex]

[tex]r^{2} = \frac{2mV}{qB^{2}}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{q}{m} = \frac{2V}{r^{2}B^{2}}[/tex]

inserting the values

[tex]\frac{q}{m} = \frac{2(10000)}{(0.05)^{2}(1)^{2}}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{q}{m}[/tex] = 8 x 10⁶

Ratio of charge to mass is 8 x 10⁶
