A 3.4 nC charged particle has a velocity of 4.7 m/s and is moving in the +x-direction. If this charge is in a magnetic field determined by B =-1.4 T t + 7.52T), what is the magnetic force on this particle?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Magnetic force, [tex]F=1.22\times 10^{-7}\ N[/tex]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Charge, [tex]q=3.4\ nC=3.4\times 10^{-9}\ C[/tex]

Velocity, v = 4.7 m/s

Magnetic field, [tex]B=-1.4i+7.52j[/tex]

[tex]|B|=\sqrt{(-1.4)^2+(7.52)^2}=7.64\ T[/tex]

Magnetic force is given by :

[tex]F=q\times v\times B[/tex]

[tex]F=3.4\times 10^{-9}\ C\times 4.7\ m/s\times 7.64\ T[/tex]

[tex]F=1.22\times 10^{-7}\ N[/tex]

So, the magnetic force on this particle is [tex]1.22\times 10^{-7}\ N[/tex]. Hence, this is the required solution.
