What is the speed of a beam of electrons when under the simultaneous influence of E = 1.64*104 V/m B = 4.60*10-3 T Both fields are normal to the beam and to each other and produce no deflection of the electrons. When the electric field is removed, what is the radius of the electron orbit? What is the period of the orbit?

    Answer: v = 3.57*10^6 m/s; R = 4.42*10^-3m; T = 7.78*10^-9 s

    Explanation:

    Magnetic force (B) = 4.60*10^-3 T

    Electric force (E) = 1.64*10^4 V/m

    Both forces having equal magnitude;

    Magnetic force = electric force

    qvB = qE

    vB = E

    v = (1.64*10^4) : (4.60*10^-3)

    v = 3.57*10^6 m/s

    2.) Assume no electric field

    qvB = ma

    Where a = v^2 : r

    R = radius

    a = acceleration

    v = velocity

    qvB = m (v^2 : R)

    R = (m*v) : (|q|*B)

    q=1.6*10^-19C

    m = 9.11*10^-31kg

    R = (9.11*10^-31 * 3.57*10^6) : (1.6*10^-19 * 4.6*10^-3)

    R = 32.5227*10^-25 : 7.36*10^-22

    R = 4.42*10^-3m

    3.) period (T)

    T = (2*pi*R) : v

    T = (2 * 4.42*10^-3 * 3.142) : (3.57*10^6)

    T = (27.775*10^-3) : (3.57*10^6)

    T = 7.78*10^-9 s
