Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around a physics problem involving a charged particle moving through a magnetic field, specifically focusing on the time spent in the field and the conditions for another particle (an electron) to follow the same circular path as a proton in a magnetic field.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification, Mathematical reasoning

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants discuss the application of the Lorentz force and Newton's second law in the context of uniform circular motion. There are hints provided regarding the necessary concepts to solve the problem, but some participants express confusion about the approach.

Discussion Status

The discussion is ongoing, with some participants offering hints related to the physics concepts involved. However, there is a clear expression of uncertainty from at least one participant regarding how to proceed with the problem.

Contextual Notes

Participants are encouraged to reference their textbooks for additional information on the relevant topics, indicating a reliance on external resources for clarification.

1) A particle of mass 7.7 x 10-8 kg and charge +6.8 μC is traveling due east. It enters perpendicularly a magnetic field whose magnitude is 2.5 T. After entering the field, the particle completes one-half of a circle and exits the field traveling due west. How much time does the particle spend in the magnetic field?

3) A proton is projected perpendicularly into a magnetic field that has a magnitude of 3.4 T. The field is then adjusted so that an electron will follow the exact same circular path when it is projected perpendicularly into the field with the same velocity (same magnitude and same direction) that the proton had. The mass of the electron is 9.11 × 10-31 kg, and the mass of the proton is 1.67 × 10-27 kg.

(b1) What is the magnitude Be of the magnetic field used for the electron?

I need help in this 3 question. How do i solve it?

Some hints: the force acting on the particle is the magnetic portion of the Lorentz force; Newton's 2nd law; uniform circular motion.
 
I am totally clueless!`
