Answer:

Fe = 9 x 10⁻⁹ N

Fg = 3.97 x 10⁻⁴⁶ N

Fe = 2.26 x 10³⁷ Fg

Explanation:

First we find electric force by Coulomb's Law as follows:

Fe = kq₁q₂/r²

where,

Fe = electric force = ?

k = Coulomb's Constant = 9 x 10⁹ N.m²/C²

q₁ = q₂ = charges on electron and proton = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

r = distance between electron and proton = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁰ m

Therefore,

Fe = (9 x 10⁹ N.m²/C²)(1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C)(1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C)/(1.6 x 10⁻¹⁰ m)²

<u>Fe = 9 x 10⁻⁹ N </u>

Now we find gravitational force by Newton's Law of Gravitation as follows:

Fg = Gm₁m₂/r²

where,

Fg = gravitational force = ?

G = Universal Gravitational Constant = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/kg²

m₁ = mass of electron = 9.11 x 10⁻³¹ kg

m₂ = mass of proton = 1.673 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

r = distance between electron and proton = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁰ m

Therefore,

Fg = (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/kg²)(9.11 x 10⁻³¹ kg)(1.673 x 10⁻²⁷ kg)/(1.6 x 10⁻¹⁰ m)²

<u>Fg = 3.97 x 10⁻⁴⁶ N</u>

Dividing both forces:

Fe/Fg = (9 x 10⁻⁹ N)/(3.97 x 10⁻⁴⁶ N)

<u>Fe = 2.26 x 10³⁷ Fg</u>

A charged particle is moving in a uniform magnetic field at a speed of 8.2Ã10^3 m/s in a direction 87° from the direction of th
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

Magnetic field, B = 0.042 T

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of charged particle, v=8.2\times 10^3\ m/s

Angle between velocity and the magnetic field, \theta=87

Charge, q=5.7\ \mu C=5.7\times 10^{-6}\ C

Magnetic force, F = 0.002 N

The magnetic force is given by :

F=qvB\ sin\theta

B is the magnetic field  

B=\dfrac{F}{qv\ sin\theta}

B=\dfrac{0.002}{5.7\times 10^{-6}\times 8.2\times 10^3\times sin(87)}

B = 0.042 T

So, the strength of the magnetic field is 0.042 Tesla. Hence, this is the required solution.
