An electron emitted by a heated cathode and accelerated through a potential difference of $2.0 \; kV$,enters a region with a uniform magnetic field of $0.15 \; T$. Determine the trajectory of the electron if the field:
$(a)$ is transverse to its initial velocity,
$(b)$ makes an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the initial velocity.

An electron moves through a uniform magnetic field $\vec{B} = B_0 \hat{i} + 2 B_0 \hat{j} \ T$. At a particular instant of time,the velocity of the electron is $\vec{v} = 3 \hat{i} + 5 \hat{j} \ m/s$. If the magnetic force acting on the electron is $\vec{F} = 5e \hat{k} \ N$,where $e$ is the magnitude of the charge of an electron,then the value of $B_0$ is . . . . . . $T$.

An electron gun with its collector at a potential of $100 \; V$ fires out electrons in a spherical bulb containing hydrogen gas at low pressure $(\sim 10^{-2} \; mm$ of $Hg)$. $A$ magnetic field of $2.83 \times 10^{-4} \; T$ curves the path of the electrons in a circular orbit of radius $12.0 \; cm$. (The path can be viewed because the gas ions in the path focus the beam by attracting electrons,and emitting light by electron capture; this method is known as the 'fine beam tube' method.) Determine $e/m$ from the data.

An electron and a positron are released from $(0, 0, 0)$ and $(0, 0, 1.5R)$ respectively,in a uniform magnetic field $\vec{B} = B_0 \hat{i}$,each with an equal momentum of magnitude $P = eBR$. Under what conditions on the direction of momentum will the orbits be non-intersecting circles?

View Solution

An electron enters the space between the plates of a charged capacitor as shown. The surface charge density on the plates is $\sigma$. The electric field intensity in the space between the plates is $E$. $A$ uniform magnetic field $B$ also exists in the space,perpendicular to the direction of $E$. The electron moves perpendicular to both $\overrightarrow{E}$ and $\overrightarrow{B}$ without any change in direction. The time taken by the electron to travel a distance $l$ in the space is:
