Concept explainers
Magnitude and direction of force on the electron.
Answer to Problem 92A
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Charge on the electron is,
Velocity,
Strength of magnetic field,
Formula Used:
The force on a moving charge (Lorentz force) is,
Where,
Calculation:
From the given data, the angle between
On putting the given values in above relation,
Now, the direction of force is given by right hand rule.
Since the velocity in south and direction of magnetic field is east so, by right hand rule the direction of force is downward.
But, due to negative charge the direction of force is reversed.
Hence, the direction of force is upward.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the force on the ion is
