an electron travels with velocity < 4e5, 0, 0 > m/s. it enters a region in which there is a uniform magnetic field of < 0, 0.7, 0 > t. what is the magnetic force on the electron? b



Answer :

The magnetic force on the electron 4.48×10⁻¹⁴ N

we are provided with the velocity which is (4e5, 0, 0) and  the magnetic field which  is  (0, 0.7, 0) .the Lorentz equation a charged molecule of charge q moving with a speed v will encounter a force ,

F = q × ( E + v × B ) where E is the electric field and  B is the magnetic field and q is the charge of the particle. The electron is moving in the positive x direction. The magnetic field is coordinated within the positive y direction from the right-hand palm rule we see that the magnetic force acting on an electron in the + z direction.

so the magnetic forc will be :

F=qvB

 = 1.6×10⁻¹⁹*4×10⁵*0.7

 =  4.48×10⁻¹⁴ N
