Question
In a nuclear research laboratory, a proton moves in a particle accelerator through a magnetic field of intensity 0.229 T at a speed of 3.2 × 107 m/s. The charge of a proton is 1.60218 × 10−19 C.
A. If the proton is moving perpendicular to the field, what force acts on it?
B. If the proton of mass 1.67262 × 10−27 kg continues to move in a direction that is consistently perpendicular to the field, what is the radius of curvature of its path?.
