Do the on-line assignment “HW #06.”
27.54 (30 pts.) In part (c), assume that the voltage and magnetic field have the same values as in part (b). The problem statement says to assume the velocities are the same, but that is not correct since the two isotopes have different masses.
Note: This problem involves a theoretical derivation, followed by an application of the result to a specific numerical problem. Be sure your derivation is clear. Include a useful diagram, with labels, to complement your work. It is not sufficient to simply get the right answer; the reader should be able to understand the reasoning that went into the calculation.
Please write neatly and show your work clearly. I need to be able to follow your reasoning. Homework that is incomplete or difficult to understand will not get full credit.
If you get bogged down with any of the problems, do not hesitate to discuss them with your instructor or with a fellow student. However, if you discuss a problem with anyone (besides your instructor) you should acknowledge that collaboration. Please see the Academic Honesty policy for more information about appropriate and inappropriate collaboration.
