1. Identify the tracks of each particle:
- Path 1 – proton
- Path 2 – alpha particle
- Path 3 – neutron
- Path 4 – electron
2.
\(\overrightarrow F=q(\overrightarrow V\times \overrightarrow B)\)
3. Zero. Since the force is perpendicular to the direction of velocity work done is zero.
4. KE = 1 keV = 1 × 103 × 1.6 × 10-19 = 1.6 × 10-16
\(\frac{1}{2}mv^2\) = 1.6 x 10-16 J
v2 = \(\frac{1}{m}\times1.6\times10^{-16}\times2 \) = \(\frac{3.2\times10^{-16}}{9.1\times10^{-31}}\)
= 0.352 x 1015 = 3.52 x 1014
V = \( \sqrt{3.52\times10^{14}}\) = 1.88 x 107 ms-1
Radius of the path = \(\frac{mvsinθ}{qB}\)
= \(\frac{9.1\times10^{-31}\times1.88\times10^7\times\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}}{1.6\times10^{-19}\times 0.04}\) = 2.31 x 10-3m
Pitch = \(\frac{2\times\pi\times mvcos θ}{qB}\)
= \(\frac{2\times\pi\times9.1\times10^{-31}\times1.88\times10^7\times0.5}{1.6\times10^{19}\times0.04}\)
= 8.39 × 10-3
