A proton (charge +e, mass mp), a deuteron (charge +e, mass 2mp), and an alpha particle (charge +2e, mass 4mp) are accelerated from rest through a common potential difference ?V. Each of the particles enters a uniform magnetic field B(-->) , with its velocity in a direction perpendicular to B(-->). The proton moves in a circular path of radius rp.


(a) In terms of rp, determine the radius rd of the circular orbit for the deuteron.
rd = _________



(b) In terms of rp, determine the radius r(aplha) for the alpha particle.

Answer:

(a) [tex]r_{d}=\sqrt{2}\times r_{P}[/tex]

(b) [tex]r_{\alpha}=\sqrt{2}\times r_{P}[/tex]

Explanation:

charge on proton, q = e

mass pf proton, m = mp  

charge on deuteron, q' = e

mass pf deuteron, m' = 2mp  

charge on alpha particle, q'' = 2e

mass pf alpha particle, m'' = 4mp

Potential difference = V  

Magnetic field = B

The kinetic energy is given by eV.

So, 1/2 mv^2 = e V

where, v be the velocity of the particle.

[tex]v=\sqrt{\frac{2eV}{m}}[/tex]

The formula for the radius of circular path is given by

[tex]r = \frac{mv}{Bq}[/tex]

By substituting the value of v

[tex]r = \frac{\sqrt{2eVm}}{Bq}[/tex]

[tex]r\alpha \frac{\sqrt{m}}{q}[/tex]

The radius of path of proton is given by

[tex]r_{p}\alpha \frac{\sqrt{m_{p}}}{e}[/tex].... (1)

(a) radius of deuteron

[tex]r_{d}\alpha \frac{\sqrt{2m_{p}}}{e}[/tex]

By comparing equation (1), we get

[tex]r_{d}=\sqrt{2}\times r_{P}[/tex]

(b) radius of alpha particle

[tex]r_{\alpha}\alpha \frac{\sqrt{4m_{p}}}{2e}[/tex]

By comparing equation (1), we get

[tex]r_{\alpha}=\sqrt{2}\times r_{P}[/tex]
