Q. 389. A non-relativistic proton beam passes without deviation through the region of space where there are uniform transverse mutually perpendicular electric and magnetic fields with E = 120 kV/m and B = 50 mT. Then the beam strikes a grounded target. Find the force with which the beam acts on the target if the beam current is equal to I = 0.80 mA.

Q. 390. Non-relativistic protons move rectilinearly in the region of space where there are uniform mutually perpendicular electric and magnetic fields with E = 4.0 kV/m and B = 50 mT. The trajectory of the protons lies in the plane xz (Fig. 3.102) and forms an angle φ = 30° with the x axis. Find the pitch of the helical trajectory along which the protons will move after the electric field is switched off.

Solution. 390. When the electric field is switched off, the path followed by the particle will be helical, and pitch,  is the velocity of the particle, parallel to   the  time period of revolution.)

Q. 392. A particle with specific charge qim moves in the region of space where there are uniform mutually perpendicular electric and magnetic fields with strength E and induc- tion B (Fig. 3.104). At the moment t = 0 the particle was located at the point O and had zero velocity. For the non-relativistic case find:
(a) the law of motion x (t) and y (t) of the particle; the shape of the trajectory;
(b) the length of the segment of the trajectory between two nearest points at which the velocity of the particle turns into zero;
(c) the mean value of the particle's velocity vector projection on the x axis (the drift velocity).

Solution. 392. (a) The equation of motion is,

Now,

So, the equation becomes,

Here,   The last equation is easy to integrate;

vz = constant = 0,

since vz is zero initially. Thus integrating again,

z = constant = 0,

and motion is confined to the x - y plane. We now multiply the second equation by i and add to the first equation.

where C and α are two real constants. Taking real and imaginary parts.

Since vy = 0, when t = 0, we can take α = 0, then vx = 0 at t = 0 gives,  and we get,

Integrating again and using x = y = 0, at t = 0, we get

This is the equation of a cycloid.

(b) The velocity is zero, when ωt - 2nπ. We see that

The quantity inside the modulus is positive for 0 < ωt < 2 π. Thus we can drop the modulus and write for the distance traversed between two successive zeroes of velocity.

Putting

Q. 393. A system consists of a long cylindrical anode of radius a and a coaxial cylindrical cathode of radius b (b < a). A filament located along the axis of the system carries a heating current I producing a magnetic field in the surrounding space. Find the least potential difference between the cathode and anode at which the thermal electrons leaving the cathode without initial velocity start reaching the anode.

Solution. 393. When a current I flows along the a x is, a magnetic field  is set up where   In terms of components,

Suppose a p.d. V is set up between the inner cathode and the outer anode. This means a potential function of the form

Integrating the last equation,

since vz = 0 where p = a. We now substitute this   in the other two equations to get

Integrating and using v2 = 0, at p = b, we get,

The RHS must be positive, for all a > p > b. The condition for this is,

Q. 394. Magnetron is a device consisting of a filament of radius a and a coaxial cylindrical anode of radius b which are located in a uniform magnetic field parallel to the filament. An accelerating potential difference V is applied between the filament and the anode. Find the value of magnetic induction at which the electrons leaving the filament with zero velocity reach the anode.

Solution. 394. This differs from the previous problem in  and the magnetic field is along the z-direction. Thus Bx = By = 0, Bz = B

Assuming as usual the charge of the electron to be - | e |, w e write the equation of motion

and

The motion is confined to the plane z = 0. Eliminating B from the first two equations,

On the other hand, eliminating V, we also get,

But,

Thus,

Q. 399. Since the period of revolution of electrons in a uniform magnetic field rapidly increases with the growth of energy, a cyclotron is unsuitable for their acceleration. This drawback is rectified in a microtron (Fig. 3.105) in which a change ΔT in the period of revolution of an electron is made multiple with the period of accelerating field T0. How many times has an electron to cross the accelerating gap of a microtron to acquire an energy W = 4.6 MeV if ΔT = T0, the magnetic induction is equal to B = 107 mT, and the frequency of accelerating field to v = 3000 MHz?

According to what law ω (t) should this frequency be monitored if the magnetic induction is equal to B and the particle acquires an energy ΔW per revolution? The charge of the particle is q and its mass is m.

With the current switched into the winding, the magnetic induction of the field generated by the solenoid amounts to B. Find the velocity of the particle and the curvature radius of its trajectory, assuming that during the increase of current flowing in the solenoid the particle shifts by a negligible distance.

Solution. 401. When the magnetic field is being set up in the solenoid, and electric field will be induced in it, this will accelerate the charged particle. If B is the rate, at which the magnetic field is increasing, then.
