Important Questions on Electromagnetism
The device shown in Figure is commonly used to measure the charge-to-mass ratio of the electron. The electrons that leave the cathode are accelerated by an electric field that exists in the space between the cathode and the anode . A fraction of electrons fly through the hole in the anode. These electrons, leaving region of the device, fly into the region where there is no electric field. In this region the electrons are deflected from a straight line via a magnetic field directed perpendicularly to the plane of the drawing. This field is generated by two solenoids. The region where the trajectory of the electrons is bent lies between these two solenoids. By increasing the current flowing through the two solenoids connected in series we can direct the electrons into a Faraday cylinder , with a galvanometer registering the resulting current. Any further increase in the solenoid current results in a drop in the current flowing through , since the electrons begin to move along a circle of a smaller radius. The dependence of the galvanometer current on the solenoid current is illustrated by the curve in Figure The following quantities are known in measurements: the potential difference between anode and cathode, the curvature radius of the axial line of region (assuming that the majority of electrons deflected by the magnetic field travel along this line), the number of turns per unit length of solenoid, and the solenoid current at which the galvanometer current is maximal. How to determine the charge-to-mass ratio of the electron knowing the values of these quantities?

A charged particle of mass and charge has acquired a certain velocity by passing through a potential difference . With this velocity it flies into the field of a parallel-plate capacitor, with the distance between the plates being , the potential difference being . The velocity of the particle is directed parallel to the plates. Where should the magnetic field that makes the particle move along a straight line in the capacitor be directed and what should its value be (the induction )?

A direct current is flowing through a plane in the direction designated by an arrow. The plate is placed in a transverse magnetic field . As a result of the Hall effect there appears a transverse potential difference. What is the sign of the potential at point if the plate is made of metal and if the plate is an -type or -type semiconductor?

A spiral made from elastic wire is connected to a DC source. The spiral is stretched. Will the current flowing in the spiral become greater or smaller in the stretching process than the initial current or will it remain unchanged?

Two identical inductances carry currents that vary with time according to linear laws. In which of the two inductances is the self-induction emf greater? Will the values or signs of the self-induction emf's change if the currents begin to increase in the opposite direction after they pass through zero (with the linear laws retained in the process)?

A current that varies with time according to a law depicted graphically in the figure passes through an induction coil. In which of the moments denoted in the figure will the self-induction emf be maximal (the inductance of the coil remains unchanged in the process)?

A current is flowing in a circular contour whose radius is . A second contour, , whose radius is much smaller than that of the first, is moving with a constant velocity, along the axis in such a manner that the planes of the contours remain parallel to each other in the course of the motion. At what distance from contour will the EMF induced in contour be maximal?
