Chapter 29, Problem 2P
You are working as an expert witness in a civil case. You have been hired by the attorney for a company that manufactures compasses. The company is being sued by a novice hiker who used one of the company’s top-level compasses. The hiker claims that the compass was defective, sending him off in a different direction from his desired direction. After taking off in the erroneous direction, he dropped and lost his compass so that he could not take subsequent measurements. As a result, he became lost for days, with the subsequent ill effects on his health and lost wages from missed days at work. The hiker has provided the exact location at which he took the erroneous compass reading. You take a trip to this location and look around. You notice that there is an electric power transmission line directly above sour location, running in a north–south direction. Using trigonometry, you determine that the power line is a vertical distance of 6.65 m above the ground. Upon returning to your office, you contact employees of the electric power company, who tell you that that particular rural power line actually carries DC current with a typical magnitude during the day of 135 A. (a) In order to provide advice in this case, you calculate the magnetic field caused by the power line at the location of the hiker. (b) What advice do you give to the attorney?

Consider an experimental setup where charged particles (electrons or protons) are first accelerated by an electric field and then injected into a region of constant magnetic field with a field strength of 0.45 T.
1. What is the potential difference, in volts, required in the first part of the experiment to accelerate electrons to a speed of 6.1 × 107 m/s?
2. Find the radius of curvature, in meters, of the path of a proton accelerated through this same potential after the proton crosses into the region with the magnetic field.
3. What is the ratio of the radii of curvature for a proton and an an electron traveling through this apparatus?

- In experiments where all the charged particles in a beam are required to have the same velocity (for example, when entering a mass spectrometer), scientists use a velocity selector. A velocity selector has a region of uniform electric and magnetic fields that are perpendicular to each other and perpendicular to the motion of the charged particles. Both the electric and magnetic fields exert a force on the charged particles. If a particle has precisely the right velocity, the two forces exactly cancel and the particle is not deflected. Equating the forces due to the electric field and the magnetic field gives the following equation: qE = qvBSolving for the velocity, we get: ν = (E)/(B)A particle moving at this velocity will pass through the region of uniform fields with no deflection, as shown. For higher or lower velocities than this, the particles will feel a net force and will be deflected.
