Q

Deriving pV = 1/3 Nmc^2

A
  1. Draw container and label all side lengths & mass and velocity of a particle
  2. Momentum change & time taken between wall collisions
  3. Find pV
  4. Velocity can be in any direction, so find c = sqrt(vx^2 + vy^2 + vz^2)
  5. On average, only 1/3 particles will travel in one plane.

pV = 1/3 Nmc^2

Q

Resonance

A

A generator exerts a driving force, which drives oscillation (resonance).
When the driving force frequency is larger or smaller than the natural frequency, less energy is transferred.
When the driving force frequency is equal to the natural frequency, energy transferred is maximised, so the amplitude is maximised too.

Q

Resonant / Natural Frequency

A

When a system reaches a specific frequency, its amplitude is maximised.

Q

Method For Analysing

A
  1. Measure bg radiation with no absorbers
  2. Measure source radiation
  3. Measure with paper, add aluminium foil and measure again (and repeat with several meters of concrete in between source and detector)
  4. If count drops with paper, alpha is present
    If count drops FURTHER with aluminium foil, beta is present.
    If count is above bg level, gamma is present (drops FURTHER with concrete, gamma is present).

Q

Force Due To Magnetic Fields and N3L

A

The magnet that is creating the magnetic field that the current is flowing through experiences an equal and opposite force to the wire.

23
Q

Hall Voltage

A

V = Ed
V = Bvd

24
Q

Linac

A

Uses alternating electric fields to accelerate particles by alternating the p.d across tubes.

Tubes get longer as the particle speeds up.

25
Q

Cyclotron

A

Uses alternating electric fields to accelerate particles by alternating the p.d across dees, while the particles travel in an outward spiral, increasing the radius of circular travel.

26
Q

Synchrotron

A

Uses alternating electric fields to accelerate particles by alternating the p.d across circular tubes.

The magnetic flux density increases as the speed of the particles increases

27
Q

Charging Capacitor

A

Charge increases
Current decreases (current stops flowing across the capacitor)
Potential Diifference increases (levels with the rest of the circuit)

28
Q

Discharging Capacitor

A

Charge decreases
Current decreases
Potential Difference decreases
