Answer 1

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

A particle is directed along the axis of the instrument in the figure below. A parallel plate capacitor sets up an electric field E, which is oriented perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field B. If the plates are separated by d = 2.0 mm and the value of the magnetic field is B = 0.60T.

Calculate the potential difference, between the capacitor plates, required to allow a particle with speed v = 5.0 × 10⁵ m/s to pass straight through without deflection.

Hint : ΔV = Ed

Answer:

the required potential difference, between the capacitor plates is 600 V

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

B = 0.60 T

d = 2.0 mm = 0.002 m

v = 5.0 × 10⁵ m/s.

since particle pass straight through without deflection.

F
`_{net` = 0

so, F
`_E` = F
`_B`

qE = qvB

divide both sides by q

E = vB

we substitute

E = (5.0 × 10⁵) × 0.6

E = 300000 N/C

given that; potential difference ΔV = Ed

we substitute

ΔV = 300000 × 0.002

ΔV = 600 V

Therefore, the required potential difference, between the capacitor plates is 600 V
