Question
An alpha particle (the nucleus of a helium
atom), carrying a charge of 3.2 × 10^−19 C
moves at 4.4 × 10^7 m/s at a right angle to a
magnetic field.
If the particle experiences a force of
3.9 × 10^−14 N due to the magnetic field, what
is the magnitude of the magnetic field?
Answer in units of T.
