Q

A

w/2pi = BQ/2mpi

38
Q

Cyclotron cosists of

A

It consist fo two hollow D-shaped electrodes (dees) in a vacuum chamber. With a uniform magnetic field applied perpendicular to the plane of the dees, a high-frequency alternating voltage is applied between the dees. Each time a charged particle crosses the gap it gains kinetic energy and hence speed and momentum so the radius of the path increases

Charged particles are directed into one of the dees near the centre of the cyclotron. The charged particles are forced on a circular path by the magnetic field causing them to emerge form the dee they were directed into. As they cross into the other dee, the alternating voltage reversed so they are accelerated into the other dee where they are once again forced on a circular path by the magnetic field. On emerging from this dee, the voltage reverses again and accelerates the particles into the first dee where the process is repeated. This occurs because the time taken by a particle to move round its semi-circular path in each dee does not depend on the particle speed

39

A

a line along which a free north pole would move in a field

40

48
Q

A

at right angles to the direction of motion of the particle

A

the force always acts at right angles to the velocity of the particle

50
Q

The direction of motion, kinetic energy and speed of a charged particle…

A

direction of motion and kinetic energy is changed by the force but not its speed

51
Q

In accordance with Fleming’s left-hand rule, the magnetic force is always…. to the velocity at any point along the path meaning…

A

perpendicular
This means that the particle therefore moves on a circular path with the force always acting towards the centre of curvature of the circular path.

52
Q

A

its perpendicular to the velocity

53
Q

The deflection of a beam of electrons in a uniform magnetic field follows a complete circle because

54
Q

Mass spectrometer

A

for equally charged particles travelling at the same velocity in the same magnetic file the radius of their paths are proportional to their masses, r =mv/BQ Nuclei of different isotopes of a given element could thereby be separated if they could be made to travel at the same velocity.

The mass spectrometer is used to analyse the type of atoms present in a sample. The atoms of the sample are ionised and directed in a narrow beam at the same velocity into a uniform magnetic field. Each ion is deflected in a semi-circle by the magnetic field onto a detector. The radius of curvature of the path of each ion depends on the specific charge of the ion. Each type of iron is deflected by a different amount onto the detector. The detector is linked to a computer which is programmed to show the relative abundance of each type of ion in the sample.

55
Q

Electric motor

A

The simple electric motor consists of a coil of insulated wire which spins between the poles of a U-shaped magnet. When a direct current passes round the coil, the wires at opposite edges of the coil are acted on by forces in opposite directions; the force on each edge makes the coil spin about its axis. Current is supplied to the coil via a split-ring commutator. The direction of the current round the coil is reversed by the split-ring commutator each time the coil rotates through half a turn ensuring the current along an edge changes direction when moving poles

65
Q

Why do ions travel in a semicircular path whilst in a magnetic field
