Capacitor/Charging & magnetic Field

AI Thread Summary
A particle with a mass of 7.7 x 10^-8 kg and a charge of +6.8 μC enters a 2.5 T magnetic field perpendicularly and travels half a circular path before exiting. The time spent in the magnetic field can be calculated using the concepts of the Lorentz force and uniform circular motion. Additionally, the discussion involves a proton and an electron projected into a magnetic field, with a focus on determining the magnetic field strength required for the electron to follow the same path as the proton. Participants are encouraged to reference their textbooks for further understanding of these physics concepts. The thread emphasizes the need for clarity in applying fundamental physics principles to solve the problems presented.

1) A particle of mass 7.7 x 10-8 kg and charge +6.8 μC is traveling due east. It enters perpendicularly a magnetic field whose magnitude is 2.5 T. After entering the field, the particle completes one-half of a circle and exits the field traveling due west. How much time does the particle spend in the magnetic field?

3) A proton is projected perpendicularly into a magnetic field that has a magnitude of 3.4 T. The field is then adjusted so that an electron will follow the exact same circular path when it is projected perpendicularly into the field with the same velocity (same magnitude and same direction) that the proton had. The mass of the electron is 9.11 × 10-31 kg, and the mass of the proton is 1.67 × 10-27 kg.

(b1) What is the magnitude Be of the magnetic field used for the electron?

I need help in this 3 question. How do i solve it?

Some hints: the force acting on the particle is the magnetic portion of the Lorentz force; Newton's 2nd law; uniform circular motion.
 
I am totally clueless!`

Did you look up these topics in your textbook?
 
Thread 'Help with Time-Independent Perturbation Theory "Good" States Proof'
(Disclaimer: this is not a HW question. I am self-studying, and this felt like the type of question I've seen in this forum. If there is somewhere better for me to share this doubt, please let me know and I'll transfer it right away.) I am currently reviewing Chapter 7 of Introduction to QM by Griffiths. I have been stuck for an hour or so trying to understand the last paragraph of this proof (pls check the attached file). It claims that we can express Ψ_{γ}(0) as a linear combination of...
