21. (a) Aircraft sometimes acquire small static charges. Suppose a supersonic jet has a 0.500-µC charge and flies due west at a speed of 660. m/s over Earth's south magnetic pole, where the 8.00 × 10¬³ -T magnetic field points straight down into the ground. What are the direction and the magnitude of the magnetic force on the plane? (b) Discuss whether the value obtained in part (a) implies this is a significant or negligible effect.
