Question

A high-energy accelerator produces a beam of protons with kinetic energy 2 Gev (that is, $2 \times 10^{9}$ ev per proton). The current is 1 milliamp. The beam diameter is $2 \mathrm{~mm}$. As measured in the laboratory frame: (a) What is the strength of the electric field caused by the beam $1 \mathrm{~cm}$ from the central axis of the beam? (b) What is the strength of the magnetic field at the same distance? Now consider a frame $F^{\prime}$ which is moving along with the protons. What fields would be measured in $F^{\prime \prime}$ \} For this problem you may assume that the rest energy of a proton is $10^{9} \mathrm{cv}$.

Step 1

The kinetic energy of a particle is given by $KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$, where $m$ is the mass of the particle and $v$ is its velocity. Given that the rest energy of a proton is $10^9$ eV, we can calculate the total energy of the proton as $E = KE + mc^2$, where $c$ Show more…
