Question

1.) An electron of mass 9.1 × 10^31 kg moves horizontally toward the north at 4.0 × 10^7 m/s.

A.) Determine the magnitude of a minimum B field that will exert a magnetic force that balances the gravitational force that Earth exerts on the electron.

2.) Each of the lettered dots a-d shown in the figure represents a +1.0×10^5-C charged particle moving at speed 2.0×10^7 m/s. A uniform 0.50-T magnetic field points in the positive z-direction.

A.) Determine the magnitude of the magnetic force that the field exerts on each particle. and indicate carefully, in a drawing, the direction of the force.

FBon(a), FBon(b), FBon(c), FBon(d)= _____,______,______,______ N.

Explanation / Answer

1) Apply, FB = Fg

q*v*B = m*g

B = m*g/(q*v)

= 9.1*10^-31*9.8/(1.6*10^-19*4*10^7)

= 1.4*10^-19 T

2) Figure is missing
