Answer:
F_B = 6.4*10^-13 N
Explanation:
The magnetic force on the electron, generated by the motion of the electron and the magnetic field is given by:
q: electron charge = 1.6*10^{-19}C
v: speed of the electron = 2.0*10^6 m/s
B: magnitude of the magnetic field = 2T
However, the direction of B and v are perpendicular between them. So, the angle between vectors is 90°. The magnitude of the magnetic force is:
You replace the values of q, v and B in the last equation:
hence, the magnetic force on the electron is 6.4*10^-23 N
Answer:
The particle path will follow
(d) a circular path
Explanation:
When a charged particle having charge of magnitude '' enters into a magnetic field such that its velocity vector '
' is perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field '
', then it will experience a force, called Lorentz force (
), given by
As shown in the figure, the magnetic field is directed perpendicular to the plane and towards the plane (as shown by the circle and 'X'-sign) and the velocity vector is from left to right on the plane.
According to the property of cross-product, the Lorentz force () acting on the particle will be perpendicular to the instantaneous position of the particle, making the path of the particle to be a circular path,as shown in the figure.
