Introduction When a charged particle is moving through a magnetic field, it experiences a magnetic Lorentz force given by F ⃗=qv ⃗ ×B ⃗ (1) where q is the charge of the particle, v is the velocity of the charge q and B is the magnetic field. In this experiment, an electron source, which is the heated filament, an electrode and Helmholtz coils are used to generate the magnetic field. Both the electrode and heated filament are placed in a near vacuum container containing a small amount of mercury. …show more content…

The magnetic field produced is given by B= (8µ_0 NI)/(√125 a) (2) where µ_0 is the permeability of free space 4π×〖10〗^(-7)WB/A-m, N is the number of turns 72 for this experiment, I is the current and a is the mean radius of each coil .33 meters. The magnetic field through the Helmholtz coil is shown in Figure 1. The region of this magnetic field that we are concerned with is in the center where the magnetic field lines are nearly uniform. When an electron is accelerated by a potential difference V, it gains kinetic energy equal to the work done on it by the field which is given by 1/2 mv^2=Ve (3) Where V is the anode potential and e is the charge of the electron. The force on an electron traveling perpendicular to a magnetic field is given by F=Bev …show more content…

Since the force is always perpendicular to the electrons direction of motion, it makes it move in a circular path whose plane is perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field. The force required to keep a body moving in a circle is F=m v^2/r (5)
With radius r and mass m. The required centripetal force is provided by the force exerted on the electron by the negative field m v^2/r=Bev or m v/r=eB

4.11 Motor A DC motor is an electrical machine which converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. A magnetic field is generated by the current carrying conductor and when this system is placed in external magnetic field then the force is exerted which is proportional to the strength of the external magnetic field and to the current in the conductor, then motor will rotate. If the direction of current is reversed then the direction of rotation of motor will also reverse.

At first, the magnetic field sensor was plugged into analog A. Next; a magnetic field sensor was open in the Database Studio software by following several instructions. Once the magnetic fields sensor was free, we clicked on the “digits” that was on the lower left side of the screen. Then, the window appeared where it was ready to record the magnetic field. After the computer part was completely set up, we measured the diameter of the Helmholtz coil several times to get the more accurate measurement and recorded the measurement in the data. Later, we set up our device in a way that current flows in the same direction for all the coil.

Introduction For two days, on the 14th and 15th of April, a field excursion to Hastings Point, New South Wales was conducted. At Hastings Point, topography, abiotic factors and organism distribution were measured and recorded, with the aim of drawing links between the abiotic factors of two ecosystems (rocky shore and sand dunes), the organisms which live in them, and the adaptations they have developed to cope with these conditions. Within these two ecosystems, multiple zones were identified and recorded, and this report also aims to identify the factors and organisms associated with each zone. Lastly, using data and observations from the past, predictions for the future of the rock pool ecosystem were made.

1. The test subjects will prepare for sleep by acquiring everything needed for the subjects’ sleep preferences. 2. The test subjects will all set alarms on their smartphones for approximately 6, 8, and 10 hours after the subjects’ enter the resting period (Subjects may wake during the resting period for the bathroom, but they must not stay awake for more than ten minutes at a time to prevent as much deviation as possible.). 3.

Figure shows the intersection of line joining the camera center and image points ${\bf x}$ and ${\bf x'}$ which will be the 3D point ${\bf X}$.\\ \end{figure} The ‘gold standard’ reconstruction algorithm minimizes the sum of squared errors between the measured and predicted image positions of the 3D point in all views in which it is visible, i.e.\\ \begin{equation} {\bf X=\textrm{arg min} \sum_{i} ||x_i-\hat{x_i}(P_i,X)||^2} \end{equation} Where ${\bf x_i}$ and ${\bf \hat{x_i}(P_i,X)}$ are the measured and predicted image positions in view $i$ under the assumption that image coordinate measurement noise is Gaussian-distributed, this approach gives the maximum likelihood solution for ${\bf X}$.

RESTING MEMBRANE POTENTIAL When the neuron is not sending a signal at rest the membrane potential called as resting membrane potential. In this stage, permeability of K+ much greater than Na+ When a neuron is at rest, the inside of the neuron is negative relative to the outside. Although the concentrations of the different ions endeavor to balance out on both sides of the membrane, they cannot because the cell membrane sanctions only some ions to pass through channels (ion channels). At rest, potassium ions (K+) can cross through the membrane facilely. Additionally at rest, chloride ions (Cl-) and sodium ions (Na+) have a more arduous time crossing.

An enzyme is a biomolecule that acts as a catalyst in biochemical reactions (1). Enzymes are commonly used in many products and medications. Enzymes function by flexibly binding to active sites in substrates (reactants). This binding is weak non-covalent interactions.

Since equilibrium cannot be reached, an electrochemical driving force is generated which acts on the ions. It is derived by finding the difference between the membrane potential obtained and the equilibrium potential expected. The sign of the value of this force decides the direction of movement of ions. Since we have cations (positive ions), a positive value shows movement of ions outside the cell membrane and a negative value shows movement of ions inside the cell membrane. If the value is equal to that of the equilibrium potential, the driving force acting on the ion is 0.

Without him being able to assume basic knowledge of physics, in particular the electromagnetic forces active in magnets, Feynman cannot accurately describe what is occurring between those two hunks of iron without raising far more questions than he will serve to answer. This is because he could only use a metaphor or simile to describe the interaction to a layman. His example is a rubber band acting like the force pulling the two magnets together, but then why does the rubber band contract? What do you know, we are right back at the
