The positron has the same mass as an electron, with an electric charge of +e. A positron follows a uniform circular motion of radius 5.03 mm due to the force of a uniform magnetic field of 0.85 T. How many complete revolutions does the positron perform If it spends 2.30 s inside the field? (electron mass = 9.11 x 10-31 kg, electron charge = -1.6 x 10-19 C)

5.465 × 10^10 revolutions

Explanation:

Formula for Magnetic Field = m. v/ q . r

M = mass of electron = mass of positron = 9.11 x 10^-31 kg,

radius of the positron = 5.03 mm

We convert to meters.

1000mm = 1m

5.03mm = xm

Cross multiply

x = 5.03/1000mm

x = 0.00503m

q = Electric charge = -1.6 x 10^-19 C

Magnetic field (B) = 0.85 T

Speed of the positron is unknown

0.85 = 9.11 x 10^-31 kg × v/ -1.6 x 10^-19 C × 0.00503

0.85 × 1.6 x 10^-19 C × 0.00503 = 9.11 x 10^-31 kg × v

v = 0.85 × -1.6 x 10^-19 C × 0.00503/9.11 x 10^-31 kg

v = 6.8408 ×10-22/ 9.11 x 10^-31 kg

v = 750911086.72m/s

Formula for complete revolutions =

Speed × time / Circumference

Time = 2.30s

Circumference of the circular path = 2πr

r =0.00503

Circumference = 2 × π × 0.00503

= 0.0316044221

Revolution = 750911086.72 × 2.30/0.0316044221

= 1727095499.5/0.0316044221

= 546541562294 revolutions

Approximately = 5.465 × 10^10 revolutions

lexy is right because she has the labeled s

d they tend to lose electrons and become cations.
