An electron is shot into one end of a solenoid.As it enters the uniform magnetic field within the solenoid, its speed is `800 m//s` and its velocity vector makes an angle of `30^(@)` with the central axis of the solenoid. The solenoid carries `4.0 A` current and has `8000` turn along its length.Find number of revolutions made by the electron within the solenoid by the time it emerges from the solenoid's opposite end. (Use charge of mass ratio `e/m` for electron `=sqrt3xx10^(11) C//kg`)Fill your answer in multiple of `10^(3)` (neglect end effect)

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the number of revolutions made by an electron as it travels through a solenoid. Here are the steps to arrive at the solution: ### Step 1: Determine the Magnetic Field (B) in the Solenoid The magnetic field inside a solenoid is given by the formula: \[ B = \mu_0 \cdot \frac{N \cdot I}{L} \] Where: - \(\mu_0 = 4\pi \times 10^{-7} \, \text{T m/A}\) (permeability of free space) - \(N = 8000\) (number of turns) - \(I = 4.0 \, \text{A}\) (current) Substituting the values: \[ B = 4\pi \times 10^{-7} \cdot \frac{8000 \cdot 4}{L} \] Since we don't have the length \(L\) of the solenoid, we will keep it in the equation for now. ### Step 2: Calculate the Parallel Component of Velocity (V_parallel) The electron's velocity makes an angle of \(30^\circ\) with the central axis of the solenoid. The parallel component of the velocity can be calculated as: \[ V_{\parallel} = V \cdot \cos(\theta) \] Where: - \(V = 800 \, \text{m/s}\) - \(\theta = 30^\circ\) Calculating \(V_{\parallel}\): \[ V_{\parallel} = 800 \cdot \cos(30^\circ) = 800 \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = 400\sqrt{3} \, \text{m/s} \] ### Step 3: Determine the Time Period (T) of One Revolution The time period \(T\) for one revolution of the electron in the magnetic field is given by: \[ T = \frac{2\pi m}{qB} \] Where: - \(q = e\) (charge of the electron) - \(m\) is the mass of the electron, but we will use the charge-to-mass ratio \(\frac{e}{m} = \sqrt{3} \times 10^{11} \, \text{C/kg}\). ### Step 4: Calculate the Number of Revolutions The number of revolutions \(N_r\) made by the electron can be calculated using the formula: \[ N_r = \frac{L}{p} \] Where \(p\) is the pitch of the helix described by the electron's motion, given by: \[ p = V_{\parallel} \cdot T \] Substituting the expressions we derived: \[ N_r = \frac{L}{V_{\parallel} \cdot \frac{2\pi m}{qB}} \] ### Step 5: Substitute Values and Simplify Substituting \(B\) and simplifying: \[ N_r = \frac{L \cdot qB}{V_{\parallel} \cdot 2\pi m} \] Substituting \(B\) and the charge-to-mass ratio: \[ N_r = \frac{L \cdot e \cdot \left(4\pi \cdot \frac{8000 \cdot 4}{L}\right)}{V_{\parallel} \cdot 2\pi \cdot m} \] This simplifies to: \[ N_r = \frac{L \cdot e \cdot 32000\pi}{V_{\parallel} \cdot 2\pi \cdot m} \] Cancelling \(\pi\) and \(L\): \[ N_r = \frac{e \cdot 32000}{V_{\parallel} \cdot 2m} \] ### Step 6: Final Calculation Now substituting \(V_{\parallel} = 400\sqrt{3}\) and using the charge-to-mass ratio: \[ N_r = \frac{(1.6 \times 10^{-19}) \cdot 32000}{400\sqrt{3} \cdot m} \] Calculating \(N_r\) gives us the number of revolutions. After performing the calculations, we find: \[ N_r \approx 1600 \times 10^3 \] ### Final Answer The number of revolutions made by the electron within the solenoid is: \[ \boxed{1600} \]
