The force is greatest when the wire is perpendicular to the magnetic field.

In fact, the expression for the magnetic force is
$F=ILB \sin \theta$
where I is the current, L the length of the wire, B the magnetic field intensity and $\theta$ is the angle between the directions of I and B.

We can see that F is maximum when $\sin \theta=1$ , so when $\theta = 90^{\circ}$ , so when the wire and the magnetic field are perpendicular to each other.

Explanation:

A particle with an electric charge experiences the maximum deflecting force when it is positioned perpendicular to the magnetic field.

Calculate the de Broglie wavelength of: a) A person running across the room (assume 180 kg at 1 m/s) b) A 5.0 MeV proton

solmaris [256]

Answer:

a

$\lambda = 3.68 *10^{-36} \ m$

b

$\lambda_p = 1.28*10^{-14} \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the person is $m = 180 \ kg$

The speed of the person is $v = 1 \ m/s$

The energy of the proton is $E_ p = 5 MeV = 5 *10^{6} eV = 5.0 *10^6 * 1.60 *10^{-19} = 8.0 *10^{-13} \ J$

Generally the de Broglie wavelength is mathematically represented as

$\lambda = \frac{h}{m * v }$

Here h is the Planck constant with the value

$h = 6.62607015 * 10^{-34} J \cdot s$

So

$\lambda = \frac{6.62607015 * 10^{-34}}{ 180 * 1 }$

=> $\lambda = 3.68 *10^{-36} \ m$

Generally the energy of the proton is mathematically represented as

$E_p = \frac{1}{2} * m_p * v^2_p$

Here $m_p$ is the mass of proton with value $m_p = 1.67 *10^{-27} \ kg$

=> $8.0*10^{-13} = \frac{1}{2} * 1.67 *10^{-27} * v^2$

=> $v _p= \sqrt{\frac{8.0 *10^{-13}}{ 0.5 * 1.67 *10^{-27}} }$

=> $v = 3.09529 *10^{7} \ m/s$

So

$\lambda_p = \frac{h}{m_p * v_p }$

so $\lambda_p = \frac{6.62607015 * 10^{-34}}{1.67 *10^{-27} * 3.09529 *10^{7} }$

=> $\lambda_p = 1.28*10^{-14} \ m$

Which type of force pulls objects toward one another

Klio2033 [76]

Gravity ALWAYS does that, and electrostatic force does it when two objects have opposite charges.
