Answer:
Explanation:
Given the following :
Speed (V) = speed of 2.30×10^7 m/s
Acceleration (a) = 1.70×10^13 m/s^2
Using the right hand rule provided by Lorentz law:
B = F / qvSinΘ
Where B = magnitude of the magnetic field
v = speed of the particle
Θ = 90° (perpendicular to the field)
q = charge of the particle
SinΘ = sin90° = 1
Note F = ma
Therefore,
B = ma / qvSinΘ
Mass of proton = 1.67 × 10^-27
Charge = 1.6 × 10^-19 C
B = [(1.67 × 10^-27) × (1.70 × 10^13)] / (1.6 × 10^-19) × (2.30 × 10^7) × 1
B = 2.839 × 10^-14 / 3.68 × 10^-12
B = 0.7715 × 10^-2
B = 7.72 × 10^-3 T
2) Magnetic field will be in the negative y direction according to the right hand thumb rule.
Since Velocity is in the positive z- direction, acceleration in the positive x - direction, then magnetic field must be in the negative y-direction.
