What is the equation to caluclate the velocity of electrons in a beam as they are accelerated through a pd
V= square rot of 2ev/m
Derive r=p/BQ
- F=mv2/2
- F=BQV
BQV = MV2/r
BQ= MV/r
p=Mv
BQ=p/r
r= p/BQ
Why will a charged particle moving in a bubble/cloud chamber show a decreasing radius
They lose energy through ionisation and therefore their velocities decrease and due to the equation r=(mv) /bq and mBQ are all fixed the radius decreases.
If the magnetic field is out of the page what charge is the particle
Positively charged
If the magnetic field is into the page what charge is the particle
Negatively charged
How do you convert from Mev/c2 to Kg
Mev> Joules > kg
E=mc2
m= E/c2 = J/3x1082 = Kg
Cov=nverting from Kg to Mev/c2
- E=mc2
- Convert the E into Mev
- M= E/c2 so ev= Mev/c2
calculate the energy in Mev and just add c2 for the denominator as Mass= ev/c2
Characteristics of a Linac acceleartaor
- Uses electric field taht is alternaring
- The a.c supply has a constant frequency
- The drift tubes get progressively linger to ensure electrons are inside each tube for a constant amount of time
- In each tube the elctrons travel at a constant velcoity
Characteristics of a Cyclottron
- Uses a magnetic and alternating electric field
- Has D shaped electroded attached to a.c supply
- Placed in a vacuum chabger and the magnetic field acts at right angles
What do antipartiles have
The same mass as the original particle
Opposite charge to the original particle
Opposite spin to the original particle
Baryon number and charge of proton
Baryon number = 1

Baryon number and charge of neutron
Baryon number = 1
charge = 0
Lepton number and charge of electron
Lepton number = 1
charge= -1
Lepton number and charge of muon
Lepton number = 1
charge= -1
Lepton/ baryon number of pion +
Lepton/baryon number= 0
charge= +1
