The electron's path in the magnetic field is a straight line when viewed from above.

In fact, the electron initially moves upward, while the magnetic field is directed horizontally. The electron experiences a force due to the magnetic field (the Lorentz force), whose direction is given by the right-hand rule:
- index finger --> initial direction of the electron (upward)
- middle finger --> direction of the magnetic field (horizontally, away from the observer)
- opposite direction to the thumb* --> direction of the force (horizontally, but perpendicular to the magnetic field, to the right)

This means that the Lorentz force makes the electron moving perpendicular to the magnetic field in the horizontal plane, and since the direction of the field is not changing, this force does not change its direction, so the electron moves in the same direction of the force in the horizontal plane (to the right), therefore following a straight line.

* the direction should be reversed because the charge is negative.

A hot iron ball of mass 200 g is cooled to a temperature of 22°C from 100°C. How much heat was
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

Q= -6900 J

Explanation:

use the formula Q=mC(T_2 - T_1) and sub in givens

Q=mC(T_2 - T_1)

Q= (200 g)(0.444 J/g°C)(22-100)

Q= -6900 J

The negative sign means heat is lost, which agrees with the decrease in temperature

Two identical point charges are 3.00 cm apart. find the charge on each of them if the force or repulsion is 4.00 x 10^-7. (Use C
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

Charge on each is 2 x 10⁻¹⁰.

Explanation:

We know that Force between two point charges is given b the Coulomb's law as:

F = kq₁q₂/r^2

k = 9 x 10^9

r = 3.00 cm

= 0.03 m

q₁ = q₂

F = 4.00 x 10^-7

Rearranging the formula, we get:

F = k q²/r²

q² = Fr²/k

q² = 4 x 10⁻⁷ x 0.03²/(9x10⁹)

q² = 4 x 10⁻²⁰

q = 2 x 10⁻¹⁰

As there is force of repulsion between the charges, the charges must be both positive or both negative.
