Two protons move parallel to each other ...

Two protons move parallel to each other with an equal velocity `v=300kms^-1`. Find the ratio of forces of magnetic and electric interaction of the protons.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:

`1.00xx10^-6`

The force of magnetic induction is given by
`vecF_(mag)=e(vecvxxvecB) Here vecB=(mu_0)/(4pi) (e(vecvxxvecr))/(r^3)`
`:. vecF_(mag)=(mu_0)/(4pi)xx(e^2)/(r^3)[vecvxx(vecvxxvecr)]`
`=(mu_0)/(4pi)xx(e^2)/(r^3)[(vecv.vecr)xxvecv-(vecv.vecv)xxvecr]`
`=(mu_0)/(4pi)xx(e^2)/(r^3)xx(-v^2vecr)`
`vecF_("ele.")=evecE=e 1/(4piepsilon_0) (evecr)/(r^3)`
`:. |F_(mag)|/|F_("ele.")|=v^2mu_0epsilon_0=(v/c)^2=1.00xx10^-6`

Two protons attract each other when

the distance between them is `10^(-10)m`

the distance between them is `10^(-1)m`

the distance between them is `10^(-15)m`

the distance between them is `10^(-6)m`

Two identical negative charges move parallel to each other with equal speed v. The ratio of magnetic and electrical forces between them is

`sqrt((v)/(c))`

`((c)/(v))^(2)`

`((v)/(c))^(2)`

`sqrt((c)/(v))`

Two electrons move parallel to each other with equal speed 'V' the ratio of magnetic & electric force between them is

`V//C`

`C//V`

`V^(2)//C^(2)`

`C^(2)//V^(2)`
