An infinite conducting sheet lies in the xy plane. It has a width of 4.5 cm and a current density of 5200 A/m2 in the negative y-direction. An electron (me= 9.11×10−31 kg and qe=−1.60×10−19C) moves parallel to the sheet with a velocity of 2.5 ×10 6m/s in the positive y-direction and with an initial z-position of 4.0 cm. What is the the direction of the force on the electron?
(a) z
(b) -y
(c) y
(d) x
(e) -z



Answer :

Option (d) is correct, According to the given conditions here we apply the right hand rule, the force pushing on an electron is travelling in the x direction.

The width of sheet is: wo=4.5cmwo=4.5cm, The current density is: σo=5200A/m2σo=5200A/m2, The mass of electron is: me=9.11×10−31kgme=9.11×10−31kg, The charge of electron is: qe=−1.60×10−19Cqe=−1.60×10−19C, The velocity of electron is: Ve=2.5×106m/sVe=2.5×106m/s, The initial position of electron is: z = 4.0cmz = 4.0cm

Io=oAo(I) The expression for the current produced by the sheet is Io=oAo. (I)

Ao=wozAo=wozis the formula for sheet area.

Change the value in the previous expression.

Ao=0.045m×0.04mAo=0.0018m2

Ao=0.045m×0.04mAo=0.0018m2

It is necessary to adjust the value in the expression (I) to Io=5200A/m20.0018m2Io=9.36A.

The magnetic field equation is Bo=sIo2z. Bo=μsIo2πz

The term "permeability of open space" (ss) is used here.

The value of an open space's permeability is as follows: s=4107T.m/A

Change the value in the previous expression.

Bo=4π×10−7T.m/A×9.36A2×π×(0.04m)

Bo=0.0000468TBo=4π×10−7T.m/A×9.36A2×π×(0.04m)

Bo=0.0000468T

The force on an electron has the formula Fo=qeBoVe.

Fo=qeBoVe

Change the value in the previous expression.

Fo=−1.60×10−19C×2.5×106m/s×0.0000468TFo=−1.872×10−17NFo=−1.60×10−19C×2.5×106m/s×0.0000468TFo=−1.872×10−17N

According to the right hand rule, the force pushing on an electron is travelling in the x direction.
