The Formula Sheets are the last two pages. Detach carefully for easier reference if you wish. 1 Name_____________________________________________ On this exam, please neglect any relativistic and/or quantum mechanical effects. If you don’t know what those are, don’t worry, we are neglecting them! On all multiple choice questions, choose the best answer in the context of what we have learned in Physics I. On numerical questions, show all work to receive credit. Part A – Warm-Ups – 16 Points Total (4 at 4 Points Each) Write your choice on the line to the left of the question number. _______1. A) B) C) D) E) The particle has zero electric charge. The velocity of the particle is in the same direction as the magnetic field. The velocity of the particle is in the opposite direction as the magnetic field. Any of the above (A-C) would result in zero magnetic force on the particle. None of the above; if the particle is moving in a magnetic field, there will be a force. _______2. A) B) C) D) E) The figure below shows equipotential lines in a certain region of space. What is the direction of the electric field in this region? –X +X –Y +Y Cannot be determined. _______4. A) B) C) D) E) A charged, non-magnetic particle is moving in a uniform magnetic field. Which of the following conditions (if any) would cause the particle to speed up? The velocity of the particle is at a right angle to the magnetic field. The velocity of the particle is in the same direction as the magnetic field. The velocity of the particle is in the opposite direction as the magnetic field. Any of the above (A-C) would cause the particle to speed up. None of the above; the magnetic force cannot cause the particle to speed up. _______3. A) B) C) D) E) A non-magnetic particle is moving in a uniform magnetic field. Which of the following conditions (if any) would lead to zero magnetic force on the particle? Y X V=0 X = 0 cm V = 50 X = 2 cm V = 100 X = 4 cm A proton moves in a circle of radius R at speed v in a magnetic field of strength B. If we want an alpha particle (2 neutrons + 2 protons) to move in a circle of the same radius in the same magnetic field, what speed should it have? For this question, assume that the mass of an alpha particle is exactly four times the mass of a proton. v/4. v/2. v. 2 v. 4 v. 2 Name_____________________________________________ Part B – Short Problems – 38 Points Total (5 at 6 Pts. + 2 at 4 Pts.) Show all work. B-1 (6 Points) Calculate the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the planet Mars. Assume Mars is a perfect sphere and neglect effects due to rotation. Use M = 6.4 10 23 kg and R = 3.4 10 6 m. Answer: _____________________ units ________ B-2 (6 Points) An electron begins at point A with a kinetic energy of 10,000 eV. The electric potential at point A is 1,000 V. The electron moves to point B where the electric potential is 0 V. If the only force on the electron is due to the electric field, what is the kinetic energy of the electron at point B? Answer: _____________________ units ________ 3 Name_____________________________________________ B-3 (6 Points) An electron is traveling in a vacuum tube at 1.4 10 7 m/s in a horizontal direction toward the south. There is a constant magnetic field in the tube with a magnitude of 0.5 gauss. The direction of the magnetic field is toward the north and 30º down (toward the ground). What is the magnitude of the magnetic (Lorentz) force on the electron? (1 T = 10,000 gauss.) Up v S N -e 30° B Down Answer: _____________________ units ________ B-4 (6 Points) In order to keep the electron in B-3 from accelerating out of its intended path, a uniform electric field is applied in the proper direction so that if it is correctly adjusted, the electric force on the electron exactly cancels the magnetic force. What is the magnitude of the electric field required? (Guess a non-zero answer for B-3 if you don’t know how to calculate it and use that here.) Answer: _____________________ units ________ 4 Name_____________________________________________ B-5 (6 Points) The electric field in B-4 is created by adjusting an electric potential difference between two parallel plates that are 5.0 cm apart (d). (The plates are equipotential surfaces.) What is the magnitude of the potential difference needed to get the electric field value you calculated in B-4? (Guess a non-zero answer for B-4 if you don’t know how to calculate it and use that here.) (E in the diagram above does not necessarily point in the “Up” direction.)

Let the electric potential energy of the configuration in C-1 be U2. (You calculated this in C-3.) Suppose we add an additional electron to the system at point A, so that the system now consists of one helium nucleus at X = 0 and Y = 0, the first electron at X = 6.0 x 10–11 m and Y = 0, and the second electron at X = 0 and Y = 6.0 x 10–11 m.
