(a) A wire is held horizontally in a vacuum chamber, and carries a current of 1.85 μA. A proton is traveling in a direction parallel to the wire (opposite the current) with a constant speed of 2.90×104 m/s at a distance d above the wire. Ignoring the magnetic field due to the Earth, determine the value of d (in cm). cm (b) What If? At what distance d (in m) would an electron moving with the same speed as the proton move parallel to the wire? m What direction would the electron have to move? In the same direction as the proton. In the opposite direction as the proton. There is too little information to determine the direction.

An electron is traveling with initial kinetic energy K in a uniform electric field. The electron comes to rest momentarily after traveling a distance d. (a) What is the magnitude of the electric field? (Use any variable or symbol stated above along with the following as necessary: e for the charge of the electron.) E = (b) What is the direction of the electric field? in the direction of the electron's motion opposite to the direction of the electron's motion perpendicular to the direction of the electron's motion (c) What If? Fluoride ions (which have the same charge as an electron) are initially moving with the same speed as the electrons from part (a) through a different uniform electric field. The ions come to a stop in the same distance d. Let the mass of an ion be M and the mass of an electron be m. Find the ratio of the magnitude of electric field the ions travel through to the magnitude of the electric field found in part (a). (Use the following as necessary: d, k, m, M, and e for the charge of the electron.) Enew Epart (a) =

A scientist builds an apparatus to measure the charge to mass ratio of ions. An ion is first accelerated to a speed of 4.50×107 m/s. It then passes through a region of magnetic field, with a magnitude of 2.44×10−2 T, perpendicular to the ion's velocity. Because the ion is moving so fast, it is only in the presence of the magnetic field for 2.00×10−7 s. Upon exiting the magnetic field, the scientist measures that the ion was deflected a distance of 3.00 cm in a direction perpendicular to its initial velocity. (a) What is the ratio of the absolute value of the ion's charge to its mass (in C/kg )? Assume the velocity change is small, and that the component of the velocity along the ion's original direction does not change noticeably. |q| m = Cg (b) Suppose the scientist determines the ion is singly charged; that is, the magnitude of its charge is that of a proton. What is the mass of the ion (in kg)? kg

(a) A small plastic bead with a charge of −60.0 nC is at the center of an insulating rubber spherical shell with an inner radius of 20.0 cm and an outer radius of 27.0 cm. The rubber material of the spherical shell is charged, with a uniform volume charge density of −1.30 μC/m3. A proton moves in a circular orbit just outside the spherical shell. What is the speed of the proton (in m/s )? m/s (b) What If? Suppose the spherical shell carries a positive charge density instead. What is the maximum value the charge density (in μC/m3 ) the spherical shell can have below which a proton can orbit the spherical shell? μC/m3
