Question

1. Consider a charged particle traveling at theta=30 degrees with respect to a uniform magnetic field of strength B=2.6 mT. The particle has a speed of v=3.0 x 10^6 m/s.

a) If the particle is a proton, what is the magnitude and direction (into or out of the page) of the force exerted on the particle by the magnetic field?

b) If the particle is an electron instead, how would your answer change?

2. What direction does Earth's magnetic field point in Toledo, Ohio? Does the direction change as you move North? South? How about right at the (magnetic) North pole? Hint: Earth's magnetic field is similar to the field produced by a bar magnet.

Explanation / Answer

a. F = qvBsin?

F = 1.6 *10^-19* 3*10^6* 2.6*10^-3 sin 30

F = 6.24 *10^-16 N into the field.

b. no only direction will change
c. field ,lines always exists fron north pole to south pole
