Q.1 The given figure shows a set-up for accelerating protons from rest, through a potential (fixed) by the
battery, and then through a velocity selector. The E and B fields are carefully adjusted so that the accelerated

instead of protons are used. You reverse the leads on the accelerating battery. What do you need to do

create the electric field in the selector?

Paragraph : (Q.12 - Q.14)

Scientists have suggested that the neutrons are not fundamental particles of nature but they have an
internal constitution. They are made of three quarks. Two up quarks and one down quark. The up quark
has a charge of –e/3 and down quark has a charge of +2e/3. The up quarks are both revolving around
the central down quark with the same speed as shown. The centripetal force required for their circular
motion is given by the coulomb force of attraction. This model predicts that the net electric dipole
moment of the neutron is zero but the net magnetic dipole moment of the neutron is not zero.

Experiments have confirmed that neutron possesses a net magnetic dipole moment of M=eh/2m. Here
m is the mass of the neutron and h is a constant known as plank's constant. It is assumed that mass of
each of the three quarks is equal.

direction same as that of angular velocity

same as that of angular velocity
