Question

At one instant an electron (charge = -1.6 \times 10^{-19} C) is moving in the xy plane, the components of its velocity being $v_x$ = 5.0 \times 10^5 m/s and $v_y$ = 3.0 \times 10^5 m/s. A magnetic field of 0.80 T is in the positive x direction. At that instant, what is the magnitude of the magnetic force on the electron?

Step 1

Step 1: The magnetic force on a charged particle is given by the equation: $\vec{F} = q(\vec{v} \times \vec{B})$ where $\vec{F}$ is the magnetic force, q is the charge of the particle, $\vec{v}$ is the velocity of the particle, and $\vec{B}$ is the magnetic field. Show more…

At one instant an electron (charge = -1.6 x 10$^{-19}$ C) is moving in the xy plane, the components of its velocity being $v_x$ = 5.0 x 10$^5$ m/s and $v_y$ = 3.0 x 10$^5$ m/s. A magnetic field of 0.80 T is in the positive x direction. At that instant, what is the magnitude of the magnetic force on the electron?
