1. Simple Sawtooth Signal Generator
(a) Consider 0  Voutput  V f . The spark gap now behaves as an open circuit.
Vbattery  Rdq / dt  q / C
Solving, q  CVbattery (1  et / RC )
Vbattery
Voutput  V f  t0  RC ln
Vbattery  V f
After this, SG behaves as a short circuit.
As a result, the capacitor discharges rapidly and Voutput falls rapidly to zero, giving a
sawtooth waveform. Charging starts again afterwards.

(b) For the exponentially increasing function Voutput to be approximately linear. t/RC must
be extremely small for all values of t, so that et / RC ~ 1  t / RC
Vbattery
In particular, t0  RC , i.e ln should be very small.
Vbattery  V f

(c) Now linearizing Voutput using (b), we get


Voutput ~ Vbattery  (t / RC )
Hence t0  V f / Vbattery  RC
Hence period T of waveform  V f / Vbattery  RC

(d) Since T, the period, depends on both V f and R, one of them should be changed vary
T. However, a change in SG would change Vf and hence the amplitude as well. As
only the period is to be changed, R should be changed.

(e) To change the amplitude, SG must be changed but then T would also change and
hence R also has to be changed appropriately.

Now let us consider the gravitational shift in wavelength of the calcium line. A
photon with zero potential energy at infinity gains a P.E  GMm / r  at a distance r
from a star.
where m = mass of photon = energy /c2
Hence E '  E  E  GM / rc2 Hence  '/   E / E '

But m1 / r  c 2  S / G
Thus, r is found in terms of l.
But r/l is known to be P /  T 4
Thus, l can be solved for from these 2 equations, as required.

(b) Let a mass dm of the gas be ejected by the ordinary star. The velocity of the star is
found as follows:
M 0 V 2 / r0  GM 0 m / r02 or V  GM / r0
Hence Vgas  V0 j  GM / r0 i
where i and j are unit vectors.
Hence Li  r  p  (r0 j )  dm(V0 j  GM / r0 i )
 dm[ GMr0 (k )]  GMr0 kdm
(where k is a unit vector)

L f  dm(rf )(v f )k
Conservation of Angular momentum gives:
Li  L f . Hence GMr0  rf v f .

geometry. The resultant magnetic field

(b) When V = 0 the electron moves in a homogeneous static magnetic field. The
magnetic Lorentz force acts orthogonal to the velocity and the electron will move in a
circle. The initial velocity is tangential to the circle.
The radius R of the orbit (the “cyclotron radius”) is determined by equating the
centripetal force and the Lorentz force:

(d) We evaluate the constant C, equation (3), at the surface of the inner cylinder and at
the maximal distance rm :
1 1 eB  rm2  a 2 
0  eBa 2  mvrm  eBrm2 which gives v  …………(4)
2 2 emrm
Alternative solution: One may first determine the electric potential V® as function
of the radial distance. in cylindrical geometry the field falls off inversely proportional
to r, which requires a logarithmic potential, V (s)  c1 ln r  c2 .
When the two constants are determined to yield V (a)  0 and V (b)  V we have
ln(r / a)
V (r )  V
ln(b / a)
The gain in potential energy, sV (rm ), is converted into kinetic energy:
1 2 ln(rm / a) 2eV ln(rm / a)
mv  eV . Thus v  ………(5)
2 ln(b / a) m ln(b / a)
(4) and (5) seem to be different answer. This is only apparent since rm is not
independent parameter, but determined by B and V so that the two answer are
identical.

(e) For the critical magnetic field the maximal distance rm equals b, the radius of the
outer cylinder, and the speed at the turning point is then
eB(b 2  a 2 )

Since the Lorentz force does not work, the corresponding kinetic energy mv 2 equal
2
eV (question a): v  2eV / m .
eB(b2  a 2 ) 2eV
The last two equations are consistent when  .
2mb m
2b 2mV
The critical magnetic field for current cut-off is therefore Bc  .
b a 2

(f) The Lorentz force has no component parallel to the magnetic field, and consequently
the velocity component vB is constant under the motion. The corresponding
displacement parallel to the cylinder axis has no relevance for the question of
reaching the anode.
Let v denote the final azimuthal speed of an electron that barely reaches the anode.
Conservation of energy implies that
m  vB2  v2  vr2   eV  m  vB2  v 2 

giving v  vr2  v2  2eV / m .
