Positive point charges q = +8.00 μC and q' = +3.00 μC are moving relative to an observer at point P, as shown in Fig. E28.6. The distance d is 0.120 m, ʋ = 4.50 × 106 m/s, and ʋ ' = 9.00 × 106m/s (a) When the two charges are at the locations shown in the figure, what are the magnitude and direction of the net magnetic field they produce at point P? (b) What are the magnitude and direction of the electric and magnetic forces that each charge exerts on the other, and what is the ratio of the magnitude of the electric force to the magnitude of the magnetic force?

- An electron in a TV CRT moves with a speed of 6.0107 m/s, in a direction perpendicular to Earth's field, which has a strength of 5.0105 T. (a) What strength electric field must be applied perpendicular to the Earth’s field to make the election moves in a straight line? (b) If this is done between plates separated by 1.00 cm, what is the voltage applied? (Note that TVs are usually surrounded by a ferromagnetic material to shield against external magnetic fields and avoid the need for such a collection,)arrow_forwardThe velocity of a particle (m= 10 mg, q= -4 microC) at a t=0 is 20m/s in the positive x-direction. If the particle moves in a uniform electric field of 20 N/C in the positive x-direction, what is the particle's velocity (in m/s) at t = 11.9 s ?arrow_forwardAn electron (mass m=9.11×10−31kgm=9.11×10−31kg) is accelerated from the rest in the uniform field E⃗ E→ (E=1.45×104N/C)(E=1.45×104N/C) between two thin parallel charged plates.
