Question

Transcribed Image Text:Activity 2. Magnetic force on a moving charge
1. A particle with the same charge as an electron experiences a force of
5.2 x 10-12N and traveling at a speed of 4.21 x 107m/s at right angles to a
magnetic field.
a. How strong is the magnetic field?
b. What does its acceleration if its mass is 1.88 x 10-28 kg?
2. A force of 5.78 x 10-16 acts on an unknown particle moving at an angle of
90° through a magnetic field. If the velocity of the particle is 5.65 x 104 m/s
and 3.20 x 10-2 T, how many elementary charges does it carry?
