An `alpha`-particle and a proton are released from the centre of a cyclotron and made to accelerate. When they are accelerated, in turn, which of the two will have higher velocity at the exit slit of the does ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Cyclotron frequency `n=(1)/(2pi)((q)/(m))B`
Velocity at the exist slit, `v_(0)=(qBR)/(m), i.e., v_(0) prop (q)/(m)`
As `(q)/(m)` is higher for protons, it will have a higher velocity at the exit slit.

A pair of parallel horizontal conducting rails of negligible resistance shorted at one end is fixed on a table. The distance between the rails is L.A conducting massless rod of resistance R can slide on the rails frictionlessly. The rod is tied to a massless string which passes over a pulley fixed to the edge of the table. A mass m, tied to the other end of the string, hangs vertically. A constant magnetic field B exists perpendicular to the table. If the system is released from rest. Calculate (a) the terminal velocity achieed by the rod and (b) the acceleration of the mass at the instant, when the velocity of the rod is half the terminal velocity.
