PRACTICE ANOTHER
The figure below shows a proton mass of initially at the origin of a coordinate system with an initial velocity vec in the plane. The initial speed is at an angle of with the axis. The proton moves in the presence of a uniform magnetic field vec in the positive direction with a magnitude of T and makes a helical path. The pitch of the helix, shown on the figure, is the distance between successive complete turns of the helix, measured along the helix axis.
a What is the pitch in m of the trajectory as defined in the figure?
What is the angular speed of the circular motion of the particle in the plane? How is it related to the period? Does the component of the velocity change during the motion? How can you relate it and the period to the pitch?
b What is the radius in m of the trajectory as defined in the figure?
m
