In 1996, NASA performed an experiment called the Tethered Satellite experiment. In this experiment, a 1.70 x 104 - m length of wire was let out by the space shuttle Atlantis to generate a motional emf. The shuttle had an orbital speed of 7.70 x 10³ m/s, and the magnitude of the earth's magnetic field at the location of the wire was 5.10 x 10-5 T. If the wire had moved perpendicular to the earth's magnetic field, wat would have been the motional emf generated between the ends of the wire? attach your complete solutions.

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.
