Electrons and Ions in Magnetic Fields
2 An electron is situated between two plates 20 mm apart having a p.d. of
600 V. Calculate the force on the electron and its initial acceleration in the field, showing the force in a diagram. Is the electron weight negligible?
4.8 x10-15 N , 5.4 x1015
ms-2 weight e ~ 9 x 10-30
N
3 The force on
a charge of 4e between two plates 32mm apart is 8 x 10-14 N.
Calculate the p.d. V between the plates.
4000V
4 An electron
beam with a velocity of 106 ms-1 enters a magnetic field
B of 4 x 10-5 T everywhere normal to the beam. Calculate the radius
of the path PQ of the beam. Explain why PQ is curved downwards.
0.14m
6 In an
electron tube, electrons from the cathode C start from rest and move to the
anode A through a p.d. of 150 V. Calculate the velocity of the electrons on
reaching the anode. 7.3 x106 ms-1
If the electron beam passes through a hole in the anode, and enters a magnetic field of 10-4 T normal to the direction of the beam, calculate the radius of the circular path XY in the field. 0.41m
If the electron beam passes through a hole in the anode, and enters a magnetic field of 10-4 T normal to the direction of the beam, calculate the radius of the circular path XY in the field. 0.41m
9 An electron
beam is accelerated by a p.d. of 300 V, and then enters normally a magnetic
field of 10-3 T. Calculate the velocity reached by the electrons and
the radius of its path in the magnetic field. 107
ms-1 5.8 x102 m
11 An electron
beam X moves with velocity v towards two horizontal plates A, D which are 10mm
apart. When the pd between A and D is 160V and the electric field force is
opposed by a uniform magnetic field B of 2mT, the electrons pass straight
though the plates undeflected. Find v and draw a sketch showing the field
directions. 8 x106 ms-1
If the
electron beam travels in a circular path of 23mm in the B field alone estimate
the charge mass ratio (e/me) of an electron. 1.7 x1011 Ckg-1
