An electron moving at 4.00103 m/s in a 1.25-T magnetic field experiences a magnetic force of 1.401016 N. What angle does the velocity of the electron make with the magnetic field? There are two answers.
A particle’s path is bent when it passes through a region of non-zero magnetic field although its speed remains unchanged. This is very useful for “beam steering’’ in particle accelerators. Consider a proton of speed 4106m/s entering a region of uniform magnetic field 0.2 T over a 5-cm-wide region. Magnetic field is perpendicular to the velocity of the particle. By how much angle will the path of the proton be bent? (Hint: the particle comes out tangent to a circle.
