Answer 4_10_2
|
An electron
accelerated to 6.0 ´ 106 m/s is deflected by a magnetic field of strength 0.82
T. What is the force acting
on the electron? Would it be
any different for a proton?
|
|
F =
Bqv = 0.82 T ´ 1.6 ´ 10-19 C ´ 6.0 ´ 106 m/s (P) |
|
= 7.9 ´ 10-13 N (P) |
|
The
value of the force would be the same (P) |
|
But
the direction would be opposite (P). |
