A particle has a charge of q = +4.9 μC and is located at the origin. As the drawing shows, an electric field of Ex = +242 N/C ex

ists along the +x axis. A magnetic field also exists, and its x and y components are Bx = +1.9 T and By = +1.9 T. Calculate the force (magnitude and direction) exerted on the particle by each of the three fields when it is (a) stationary, (b) moving along the +x axis at a speed of 345 m/s, and (c) moving along the +z axis at a speed of 345 m/s.

a)

F_{E_x}=1.19\cdot 10^{-3}N (+x axis)

F_{B_x}=0

F_{B_y}=0

b)

F_{E_x}=1.19\cdot 10^{-3} N (+x axis)

F_{B_x}=0

F_{B_y}=3.21\cdot 10^{-3}N (+z axis)

c)

F_{E_x}=1.19\cdot 10^{-3} N (+x axis)

F_{B_x}=3.21\cdot 10^{-3} N (+y axis)

F_{B_y}=3.21\cdot 10^{-3}N (-x axis)

Explanation:

a)

The electric force exerted on a charged particle is given by

F=qE

where

q is the charge

E is the electric field

For a positive charge, the direction of the force is the same as the electric field.

In this problem:

q=+4.9\mu C=+4.9\cdot 10^{-6}C is the charge

E_x=+242 N/C is the electric field, along the x-direction

So the electric force (along the x-direction) is:

F_{E_x}=(4.9\cdot 10^{-6})(242)=1.19\cdot 10^{-3} N

towards positive x-direction.

The magnetic force instead is given by

F=qvB sin \theta

where

q is the charge

v is the velocity of the charge

B is the magnetic field

\theta is the angle between the directions of v and B

Here the charge is stationary: this means v=0, therefore the magnetic force due to each component of the magnetic field is zero.

b)

In this case, the particle is moving along the +x axis.

The magnitude of the electric force does not depend on the speed: therefore, the electric force on the particle here is the same as in part a,

F_{E_x}=1.19\cdot 10^{-3} N (towards positive x-direction)

Concerning the magnetic force, we have to analyze the two different fields:

- B_x: this field is parallel to the velocity of the particle, which is moving along the +x axis. Therefore, \theta=0^{\circ}, so the force due to this field is zero.

- B_y: this field is perpendicular to the velocity of the particle, which is moving along the +x axis. Therefore, \theta=90^{\circ}. Therefore, \theta=90^{\circ}, so the force due to this field is:

F_{B_y}=qvB_y

where:

q=+4.9\cdot 10^{-6}C is the charge

v=345 m/s is the velocity

B_y = +1.9 T is the magnetic field

Substituting,

F_{B_y}=(4.9\cdot 10^{-6})(345)(1.9)=3.21\cdot 10^{-3} N

And the direction of this force can be found using the right-hand rule:

- Index finger: direction of the velocity (+x axis)

- Middle finger: direction of the magnetic field (+y axis)

- Thumb: direction of the force (+z axis)

c)

As in part b), the electric force has not change, since it does not depend on the veocity of the particle:

F_{E_x}=1.19\cdot 10^{-3}N (+x axis)

For the field B_x, the velocity (+z axis) is now perpendicular to the magnetic field (+x axis), so the force is

F_{B_x}=qvB_x

And by substituting,

F_{B_x}=(4.9\cdot 10^{-6})(345)(1.9)=3.21\cdot 10^{-3} N

And by using the right-hand rule:

- Index finger: velocity (+z axis)

- Middle finger: magnetic field (+x axis)

- Thumb: force (+y axis)

For the field B_y, the velocity (+z axis) is also perpendicular to the magnetic field (+y axis), so the force is

F_{B_y}=qvB_y

And by substituting,

F_{B_y}=(4.9\cdot 10^{-6})(345)(1.9)=3.21\cdot 10^{-3} N

And by using the right-hand rule:

- Index finger: velocity (+z axis)

- Middle finger: magnetic field (+y axis)

- Thumb: force (-y axis)

The tactile system is actually made up of two distinct skin senses.
Ludmilka [50]

The tactile system is actually made up of two distinct skin senses; protective and the discriminative system. The function of the protective system is to alert us to harmful stimuli. The receptors of the system are the hairs of our skin, head and genitals. The discriminative system is to show us what we are touching, where on our bodies is touching us and what are touching us. The receptors for his system are the hands, fingers, soles of feet and mouth and tongue.

Why would an orange roll of your cafeteria tray if you stopped suddenly
Vikentia [17]
Because the frictional force between the orange skin peel is great enough when you are walking for it to be carried on the tray, along with the gravitational force downwards onto the tray. When you stop, the force that you exerted moving forward it the same as on the tray and on the orange. So when you stop, the force is still on the orange as the same velocity as your we’re traveling, while the tray and you stop.
