The information to help answer these questions is repeated here: Lauren, a relatively normal, healthy four-year-old is meeting her new pediatrician for her annual physical.  During her examination, her pediatrician observed that Lauren is small for her age. Lauren’s mom tells the pediatrician that although she eats well, she does not seem to grow as quickly as her other children did at that age. When asked about past illnesses, Lauren’s mom explains that she has had no major illnesses, but does frequently become sick with colds and the flu. During the physical, the pediatrician notes normal respiratory function, however, hears a slight heart murmur. The pediatrician orders a chest X-ray and echocardiogram.  The tests reveal left-ventricular hypertrophy (hypertrophy = enlargement) and alterations in pulmonary blood vessels.  Lauren’s condition is diagnosed as Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA).  Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a condition in which the ductus arteriosus does not close.  The ductus arteriosus is a heart vessel that is very important during fetal development; however, it is not needed after birth. During development, the fetus is not using its lungs and the ductus arteriosus is open to allow fetal blood to bypass the lungs by connecting the pulmonary trunk to the aorta.  After birth, inflation of the lungs and changes in blood pressure gradients cause reversal of the blood flow in the ductus arteriosus.  Within hours after birth, the ductus arteriosus should constrict and close. In some infants, the ductus arteriosus fails to close. It remains open and the child is diagnosed with Patent Ductus Arteriosus. This condition allows blood in the aorta to flow back into the pulmonary trunk sending excess blood through the pulmonary circuit and less blood through the systemic circuit.  This increases the workload on the heart to pump sufficient blood to the body.  Why would a patient with PDA experience left ventricle hypertrophy?

Velocity selector: The figure shows a velocity selector that can be used to measure the speed of a charged particle. A beam of particles is directed along the axis of the instrument. A parallel plate capacitor sets up an electric field E, which is oriented perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field B. If the plates are separated by 2.0 mm and the value of the magnetic field is 0.60 T, what voltage between the plates will allow particles of speed 5.0 × 105 m/s to pass straight through without deflection?

Velocity selector: A proton, with mass 1.67 × 10-27 kg and charge +1.6 × 10-19 C, is sent with velocity 7.1 × 104 m/s in the +x direction into a region where there is a uniform electric field of magnitude 730 V/m in the +y direction. What are the magnitude and direction of the uniform magnetic field in the region, if the proton is to pass through undeflected? Assume that the magnetic field has no x-component and neglect gravitational effects.

Circular motion of charges: An electron moving perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field of 3.2 × 10-2 T moves in a circle of radius 0.40 cm. How fast is this electron moving? (mel = 9.11 × 10-31 kg. e = 1.60 × 10-19 C)
