A group of particles is traveling in a magnetic field of unknown magnitude and direction. You observe that a proton moving at 1.50 km/s in the +x-direction experiences a force of 2.25 × 10−16 N in the +y-direction, and an electron moving at 4.75 km/s in the −z-direction experiences a force of 8.50 × 10−16 N in the +y-direction. (a) What are the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field? (b) What are the magnitude and direction of the magnetic force on an electron moving in the −y-direction at 3.20 km/s?

- What magnetic field is required in order to confine a proton moving with a speed of 4.0 × 106 m/s to a circular orbit of radius 10 cm?arrow_forwardAt an instant in time, an electron has velocity, v = 100i - 300j + 200k km/s while it is in a magnetic field, B = 2i - 3j + 4k T. Find the acceleration of the electron at this instant. Use the vector table below to show any important vectors. Show only numerical results in the table.

A particle of mass 0.06 kg and charge 0.6 C is travelling in the west direction with unknown speed. It is seen to move vertically upwards with an acceleration of 8 m/s2. a) What is the total force acting on this particle in the (upwards) vertical direction? b) What is the magnitude of the magnetic force acting on this particle?

- Near the surface of the earth, a magnet is made to levitate above another magnet, which is on a table, due only to magnetic force. The levitating magnet has a mass of 150 g with its north pole facing the magnet on the table and its south pole facing upwards. A stream of electrons is shot between the magnets, perpendicular to the field. Describe, in general, what will happen to the electrons, ignoring the effects of gravity on the electrons. Sketch the magnetic field between the two magnets.arrow_forwardWhen a charged object moves with some velocity v in a region of space containing a magnetic field, that charged object experience a force. Because that force is in response to the magnetic field, we call that force a magnetic force. It is important to note that the charge must be moving to experience the magnetic force. If the charge was at rest relative to the magnetic field, then that charge would not experience a magnetic force. Suppose a 8.08mC charge moves with velocity 112.2 m/s perpendicular to a region of space where a uniform magnetic field of magnitude 0.19T exists. What is the magnitude of the magnetic force this charge experiences?arrow_forwardElectrons and protons travel from the Sun to the Earth at a typical velocity of 3.88 x 10 m/s in the positive x-direction.
