Data Analysis/Sample Calculations

a) B=\mu_0nI=4\pi\times10^7\:\frac{T\cdot m}{A}\times\left(0.153\:m\:\times3620\:\frac{turns}{m}\right)\times1.19\:A=8.28\times10^{-4}\:T

b) v=\frac{2V}{BR}=2\cdot\frac{120.0V}{8.28\times10^{-4}\:T\cdot0.0055m}=5.31\times10^7 m/s

c) m=\frac{qBR}{v}=\frac{1.602\times10^{19}\:C\:\cdot\:8.28\times10^{-4}\:T\:\cdot\:0.0055\:m}{5.31\times10^7m/s\:}=1.37\times10^{-32}\:kg

d) m_{avg}=\sum\frac{m}{n}=\frac{1.37\times10^{-32}\:+1.64\times10^{-32}+1.41\times10^{-32}+1.45\times10^{-32}+1.34\times10^{-32}\:kg}{5}=1.44\times10^{-32}\:kg

\%\:Error\:=\frac{\:\left|Actual\:Value\:-\:Expected\:Value\right|}{Actual\:Value}\times100\%=\frac{\left|9.11\times10^{-31}-1.44\times10^{-32}\:kg\right|}{9.11\times10^{-31}\:kg}\times100\%=98.4\%\:error
