Q.

A positive, singly ionized atom of mass number AM is accelerated from rest by the voltage 192 V. Thereafter, it enters a rectangular region of width w with magnetic field B→0=0.1k^ Tesla, as shown in the figure. The ion finally hits a detector at the distance x below its starting trajectory. [Given: Mass of neutron/proton =(53)×10-27 kg, charge of the electron =1.6×10-19C]                   [2024]

Which of the following option(s) is(are) correct

1 The value of x for H+ ion is 4 cm.  
2 The value of x for an ion with AM=144 is 48 cm.  
3 For detecting ions with 1≤AM≤196, the minimum height (x1-x0) of the detector is 55 cm.  
4 The minimum width w of the region of the magnetic field for detecting ions with AM=196 is 56 cm.  

Ans.

(1, 2)

From figure x=2R

⇒x=2PqB⇒x=22mqVqB⇒x=2B2mVq

For H+→m=53×10-27 kg and V=192 given

∴ x=20.12×53×10-27×1921.6×10-19=4 cm

so option (1) is correct.

For Am=144,

x=20.12×144×53×10-27×1921.6×10-19=48 cm

so option (2) is correct.

For Am=1,

x=4 cm and for Am=196

x=56 cm

so  x0=4 cm×x1=56 cm

∴ x1-x0=52 cm

so option (3) is incorrect.

For AM=196,

Minimum width Wmin=PqB=2mqVqB=1B2mVq

∴ Wmin=R=10.12×196×53×10-27×1921.6×10-19=28 cm

so option (4) is incorrect.
