After being accelerated through a potential difference of 500 V500 \text{ V}, Fe+\text{Fe}^+ ions are injected normally into a homogeneous magnetic field BB having a strength of 20.0 mT20.0 \text{ mT}. Determine the radius of the circular paths described by the isotopes with mass numbers 5757 and 5858. Consider the mass of an ion to be A(1.6×10−27) kgA(1.6 \times 10^{-27}) \text{ kg}, where AA represents the mass number.

Options

  1. A11.9 cm11.9 \text{ cm} and 12.0 cm12.0 \text{ cm}
  2. B119 cm119 \text{ cm} and 120 cm120 \text{ cm}
  3. C84 cm84 \text{ cm} and 85 cm85 \text{ cm}
  4. D169 cm169 \text{ cm} and 170 cm170 \text{ cm}

Correct answer

B. 119 cm119 \text{ cm} and 120 cm120 \text{ cm}

Step-by-step solution

The kinetic energy acquired by an ion accelerated through a potential difference VV is K=qVK = qV.

The radius of the circular path described by an ion in a uniform magnetic field is given by R=mvqB=2mKqB=1B2mVqR = \dfrac{mv}{qB} = \dfrac{\sqrt{2mK}}{qB} = \dfrac{1}{B} \sqrt{\dfrac{2mV}{q}}.

Given values are:
V=500 VV = 500 \text{ V}
B=20.0×10−3 TB = 20.0 \times 10^{-3} \text{ T}
q=1.6×10−19 Cq = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \text{ C}
m=A×1.6×10−27 kgm = A \times 1.6 \times 10^{-27} \text{ kg}

Substituting these values into the formula for radius:
R=120.0×10−32×A×1.6×10−27×5001.6×10−19R = \dfrac{1}{20.0 \times 10^{-3}} \sqrt{\dfrac{2 \times A \times 1.6 \times 10^{-27} \times 500}{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}}

R=50A×10−5 mR = 50 \sqrt{A \times 10^{-5}} \text{ m}

R=0.0510A m=510A cmR = 0.05 \sqrt{10A} \text{ m} = 5 \sqrt{10A} \text{ cm}

For the isotope with mass number A=57A = 57:
R57=5570≈5×23.87 cm≈119.35 cm≈119 cmR_{57} = 5 \sqrt{570} \approx 5 \times 23.87 \text{ cm} \approx 119.35 \text{ cm} \approx 119 \text{ cm}

For the isotope with mass number A=58A = 58:
R58=5580≈5×24.08 cm≈120.4 cm≈120 cmR_{58} = 5 \sqrt{580} \approx 5 \times 24.08 \text{ cm} \approx 120.4 \text{ cm} \approx 120 \text{ cm}

The radii of the circular paths are approximately 119 cm119 \text{ cm} and 120 cm120 \text{ cm}.
