What is the acceleration of a proton moving with a speed of 6.5 m/s at right angles to a magnetic field of 1.8 t ?

The magnetic force acting on the proton is 
F=qvB \sin \theta
where
q is the proton charge
v is its speed
B is the intensity of the magnetic field
\theta is the angle between the direction of v and B; since the proton is moving perpendicular to the magnetic field, \theta=90^{\circ} and \sin \theta=1, so the force becomes
F=qvB

this force provides the centripetal force that keeps the proton in circular motion:
m \frac{v^2}{r} = q v B
where the term on the left is the centripetal force, with
m being the mass of the proton
r the radius of its orbit

Re-arranging the previous equation, we can find the radius of the proton's orbit:
r= \frac{mv}{qB}= \frac{(1.67 \cdot 10^{-27} kg)(6.5 m/s)}{(1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C)(1.8 T)}=3.77 \cdot 10^{-8}m

And now we can calculate the centripetal acceleration of the proton, which is given by
a_c =  \frac{v^2}{r}= \frac{(6.5 m/s)^2}{3.77\cdot 10^{-8}m}=1.12 \cdot 10^9 m/s^2

A camcorder has a power rating of 16 watts. If the output voltage from its battery is 7 volts, what current does it use?
GenaCL600 [577]

Power= current*voltage or P=IV

so 16 watts=I*7 volts

divide on both sides to isolate I so you get

I= 16/7 which is about 2.3 amps
