001 (part 1 of 3) 10.0 points
A device (source) emits a bunch of
charged ions (particles) with a range of ve-
locities (see gure). Some of these ions pass
through the left slit and enter Region I in
which there is a vertical uniform electric eld
(in the direction) and a 0.1 T uniform mag-
netic eld (aligned with the

k-direction) as
shown in the gure by the shaded area.

In which direction (relative to the co-
ordinate system shown above) should the
magnetic eld point in order for negatively
charged ions to move along the path shown
by the dotted line in the diagram above?
1.

2.

3.

B
=

k correct
Explanation:
To obtain a straight orbit, the upward and
downward forces need to cancel. The force on
a charged particle is

F =

F
E
+

F
B
= q (

E +v

B) .
For the force to be zero, we need

F
E
+

F
B
= 0 , or

F
E
=

F
B
.
Therefore, the forces are equal and opposite
and the magnitude of forces are equal; i.e.,

F
E
=

F
B
.
The force due to the magnetic eld provides
the centripetal force that causes the positive
ions to move in the semicircle.
As the negatively charged ion exits the re-
gion of the electric eld,

F
B
= q v

B, so by
the right-hand rule the magnetic eld must
point out of the page

ated from rest in the plane of the page through
a potential dierence of 409 V between two
parallel plates as shown. The particle is in-
jected through a hole in the right-hand plate
into a region of space containing a uniform
magnetic eld of magnitude 0.217 T oriented
perpendicular to the plane of the page. The
particle curves in a semicircular path and
strikes a detector.

What is the sign of the charge of the parti-
cle? Neglect relativistic eects.
1. The charge q cannot be determined for
information given.
2. The charge q is negative, .
3. The charge q is positive, +. correct
Explanation:
The charge accelerates toward the nega-
tive plate and away from the positive plate.
Therefore the charge is positive, + .

Explanation:
The acceleration of the particle will be cen-
tripetal:

d where

F is the force doing
the work and

d is the displacement. The mag-

netic eld causes a force which is perpendicu-
lar to the displacement, so no work is done .
