Particle 1 and particle 2 have masses of m1 = 1.2 × 10-8 kg and m2 = 5.5 × 10-8 kg, but they carry the same charge q. The two particles accelerate from rest through the same electric potential difference V and enter the same magnetic field, which has a magnitude B. The particles travel perpendicular to the magnetic field on circular paths. The radius of the circular path for particle 1 is r1 = 10 cm. What is the radius (in cm) of the circular path for particle 2?

Answer:

[tex]r_2=21.4cm[/tex]      

Explanation:

Particle 1, charge q, [tex]m_1=1.2*10^{-8}Kg:[/tex]

The particle is accelerated thanks to the difference voltage V, the electrical energy becomes kinetic energy:

[tex]q*V=\frac{1}{2}m_1v^2[/tex]

[tex]v^2=2*q*V/m_1[/tex]          1

When the particle enter into the magnetic Field, it feels a centripetal magnetic Force, that is why the particle travel on circular path:

[tex]F_{magnetic}=q*v*B=m_1*a_c=m_1*v^2/r[/tex]

[tex]r_1^2=\frac{m_1^2v^2}{q^2B^2}[/tex]              2

We replace 1 in 2:

[tex]r_1^2=\frac{2*m_1*V}{q*B^2}[/tex]              3

Particle 2, charge q, [tex]m_2=5.5*10^{-8}Kg:[/tex]

The particle is accelerated thanks to the difference voltage V, the electrical energy becomes kinetic energy:

[tex]q*V=\frac{1}{2}m_2v^2[/tex]

[tex]v^2=2*q*V/m_2[/tex]          4

When the particle enter into the magnetic Field, it feels a centripetal magnetic Force, that is why the particle travel on circular path:

[tex]F_{magnetic}=q*v*B=m_2*a_c=m_2*v^2/r[/tex]

[tex]r_2^2=\frac{m_2^2v^2}{q^2B^2}[/tex]              5

We replace 4 in 5:

[tex]r_2^2=\frac{2*m_2*V}{q*B^2}[/tex]              6

The magnetic Field B, the voltage V, the charge q, are the same for both particles. We can divide 6 with 4 and find the radius for the second particle:

[tex]\frac{r_2^2}{r_1^2}=\frac{m_2}{m_1}[/tex]              

[tex]r_2=r_1*\sqrt{\frac{m_2}{m_1}}=10cm*\sqrt{\frac{5.5*10^{-8}Kg}{1.2*10^{-8}Kg}}=21.4cm[/tex]              

The radius of the circular path for particle 2 is mathematically given as

r2=11.81 cm

What is the radius (in cm) of the circular path for particle 2

Question Parameter(s):

Particle 1 and particle 2 have masses of m1 = 1.2 × 10-8 kg and m2 = 5.5 × 10-8 kg,

The radius of the circular path for particle 1 is r1 = 10 cm

Generally, the equation for the Velocity  is mathematically given as

[tex]v=\sqrt{\frac{2qV}{m}}[/tex]

Where

[tex]B=\frac{\sqrt{\frac{2Vm}{q}}}{r}[/tex]

Hence

[tex]\frac{m_1}{r_1^2}=\frac{m_2}{r_2^2}[/tex]

Therefore

[tex]r_2^2=\frac{4.8}{2.2}*8^2[/tex]

r2=11.81 cm

In conclusion,  the radius is

r2=11.81 cm
