A helium nucleus (called an alpha particle) contains 2 neutrons
and 2 protons with no electrons....
A helium nucleus (called an alpha particle) contains 2 neutrons
and 2 protons with no electrons. If any electrons are added, there
is a negligible amount of mass added but obviously one negative
charge per electron is added. Three particles are injected into a
constant B-field of 2T at a velocity of
3×106ms. The first
particle is only the alpha particle
(He++), the second particle is a nucleus
with 1 electron (He+), and the third
particle is a nucleus with 2 electrons (He). They are
injected into the B-field at the same point, and they need to
complete one half circle to land on the detector. What is each of
their radii? How far apart on the detector are they? The masses of
a neutron and proton are each
1.67×10-27kg, and the magnitude
of the charge of an electron and proton is
1.6×10-19C. (Note: you need the
total charge of each particle.)
