Question

Suppose a swarm of bees flies through a thunderstorm and they become charged to -10.0 pC each. a. If there are 5,000 bees in the hive, what is the total electric flux through the walls of the hive? b. The Hatfields and McCoys have a historic feud, and now they have physics degrees. Using the figure below, if the bees fly straight up out of the hive and Mr. Hatfield would like to deflect the bees toward Mr. McCoy, in what direction should he apply a magnetic field (into the page or out of the page)?

Explanation / Answer

a) the total electric flux through the walls of the hive should be zero

b)direction should be page out

c)F=qvB

=0.5 *50*10^-6*5000*10*10-6

towards Mr Mcoy

d)Towards Mr HattField

Note: Apply the right hand rule and you will easily figure out everything
