question about electromagnetism

[kaiserlichenjugend]

I didn't want to do this ( I prefer to do my own research) but desperate times call for desperate measures. I just started my freshman year in high school and since I plan to take AP physics my senior year I should tie that into my epic senior year science fair project, and I have the perfect idea. I plan to build a particle accelerator capable of colliding sub-atomic particles to produce heavy elements OR producing low power neutron beams. Anyway I plan to use electromagnetism to rip asunder a hydrogen atom into free protons and free electrons as protons have a positive charge and vice versa. Unfortunately I ran into a speed bump in research. Here's my question.

 

How strong of a magnetic field ( in Gauss) would it take to produce a force of 3.2077 * 10 to the 21st. Power between a point and 1 mole of protons with a net charge of 1 coloumb.as for distance I have yet to determine it so please include the equation so that I may augment it to fit my final design.

 

P.S. I'm. Here for actual reliable advice so I don't need to get 40 pages of " it's impossible, you can't do that it would have to be the size of a small ccity and cost a billion trillion dollars, blah, blah, blah."

Nothing is impossible there is only various magnitudes of difficulty.

Before you even start to build your particle accelerator I suggest you learn and understand Maxwell's Equations. I know that you don't understand them because if you did you would know that a static magnetic field does not produce any force on a static charge.

I do understand the Maxwell equations but I believe you have interpreted gauss's law of magnetism incorrectly. It states that a magnet must be dipole and has a net charge of zero but an electromagnet does have an attraction to a charged particle ( which a proton is by definition ) instead of argueing your understanding of physics though I will simply state that all particle accelerators operate by using a strong electromagnet ( more accurately a series of them) to pull a charged particle in a loop until adequate speed is attained.

Large particle accelerators are synchrotrons, the magnets only keep the beam moving around in a circle by bending it. The beam is accelerated by radio frequency radiation which is synchronized with the beam's traversal of the ring. My understanding of Gauss's law is correct.

Maxwell's equations in freshman high school?

A magnetic field will only exert a force on protons if the protons are moving. Then you can apply F = qvB
