19. An electron follows a helical path in a uniform magnetic field of magnitude 0.300 T. The pitch of the path is 6.00 m, and the magnitude of the force on the electron is 2.00 x 10 19S N. What is the electron\'s speed? -15Solution
The magnetic force
B q v = 2.00 * 10-15
0.300 * 1.60 * 10-19 * v = 2.00 * 10-15
v = 41667 m/s
The magnetic force is the centripetal force
m v2/ r = 2.00 * 10-15
r = m v2 / 2.00 * 10-15
= 9.11 * 10-31 * 416672 / 2.00 * 10-15
= 7.91 * 10-7 m
w = v / r , w = 2 pi / T
T = 2 pi r / v = 2 pi * 7.91 * 10-7/ 41667 = 1.19 * 10-10 s
vx = 6 * 10-6 / 1.19 * 10-10
= 50420 m/s
Overall speed = sqrt (416672 + 504202)
= 6.5 * 104 m/s
