    Electrons Plates
AI Thread Summary
Electrons are accelerated to 7.1 keV between two parallel plates with a magnetic field of 0.004 T directed along the y-axis. The problem involves calculating the coordinates of point K after the electrons travel a quarter of a circle. The user calculated the velocity of the electrons to be approximately 5 x 10^7 m/s using kinetic energy equations. A force calculation using the magnetic field and charge was also attempted. The discussion touches on collaboration in homework, highlighting differing views on academic integrity.

Homework Statement



Electrons are accelerated between points A and B to the energy of 7.1keV, see attachment. The coordinate system was selected to have the origin at the startup point A. The electrons enter an area between two parallel plates where the magnetic field is established by running a current through the coils. It has magnitude of 0.004T and pointed in the direction of the y axis. After making a quarter of a circle, they reach a certain point K in between the plates. Report the coordinates x,y and z (in centimetres) of the point K.

I'm not sure what to do beyond what I've done already...

Homework Equations


F=qVBsin(t)
F=q(vXB)
r=(mv/qB)
KE=1/2mv^2


The Attempt at a Solution



KE=1/2mv^2
v=sqrt((2(1.135x*10^-15)/9.1*10^-31)
v=5*10^7 m/s

F=Bqv
F=.004(1.602*10^-19)5*10^7
F=3.2*10^-14 N

really dough brain? how is this different than you and your friends getting together to work on assignments?
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
Thread 'A bead-mass oscillatory system problem'
I can't figure out how to find the velocity of the particle at 37 degrees. Basically the bead moves with velocity towards right let's call it v1. The particle moves with some velocity v2. In frame of the bead, the particle is performing circular motion. So v of particle wrt bead would be perpendicular to the string. But how would I find the velocity of particle in ground frame? I tried using vectors to figure it out and the angle is coming out to be extremely long. One equation is by work...
