Step 1
The force F on a charged particle moving in a magnetic field is given by the equation F = qvBsinθ, where q is the charge on the particle, v is the velocity of the particle, B is the magnetic field strength, and θ is the angle between the velocity and the magnetic Show more…

A particle with charge q=5.0 nC and mass m = 3.0 μg moves in a region where the magnetic field has components Bx = 2.0 mT, By =3.0 mt and Bz= -4.0 mT. At an instant when the speed of the particle is 5.0 km/s and the direction of the velocity is 120 deg relative to the magnetic field, what is the magnitude of the acceleration of the particle?

At a given instant, a particle with a mass of $5.00 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{kg}$ and a charge of $3.50 \times 10^{-8} \mathrm{C}$ has a velocity with a magnitude of $2.00 \times 10^{5} \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$ in the $+y$ direction. It is moving in a uniform magnetic field that has magnitude 0.8 $\mathrm{T}$ and is in the $-x$ direction. What are (a) the magnitude and direction of the magnetic force on the particle and (b) its resulting acceleration?
