    ASSIGNMENT 8

    All questions carry equal marks

    Q1 At a particular location, the Earth's magnetic field has a vertical component (downwards)
    of 1 x 10
    -4
    T, and a horizontal component (Northwards) of 3 x 10
    -5
    T. An electron in a TV tube
    is moving East West with speed 2 x 10

    m s

    . Find the magnitude and direction of the
    magnetic force on the electron.

    Hint: Define an x, y, z co-ordinate system, and draw a diagram showing all the relevant
    vectors in terms of their components. Use the equation for the magnetic force on a moving
    charged particle, being careful to apply the right hand rule and take the negative charge of
    the electron into account.

    Q2 A magnetic field is used to deflect a beam of
    electrons before it strikes a screen. The electrons,
    travelling at a speed v, enter a region in which the
    magnetic field, B, is perpendicular to the direction of
    motion, as shown.

    As proved in the lectures, the path followed by the
    electrons is a circle of radius, r, given by

    T, and L =100 mm. Find the distance, x,
    from the centre of the screen to the point where the electrons strike. [Answer = 28 mm]


    Q3 The Hall coefficient of a material is defined as R
    H
    =E/J B, where J is the current density
    (current per unit area) in the material, B is the magnitude of the externally applied
    magnetic field
    perpendicular to the direction of the current, and E is the magnitude of the Hall electric field.

    (a) Using the result derived in the lectures for the Hall voltage, show that R
    H
    =1/(ne),
    where n is the volume number density of charge carriers and e is the electronic charge.
