Concept explainers
Magnitude and direction of force on proton.
Answer to Problem 26PP
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The given figure is shown below.
Formula Used:
The force on a moving charge (Lorentz force) is,
Where,
Calculation:
From the given figure,
Charge on proton is,
Velocity,
Strength of magnetic field,
Angle between
So, on putting the values,
Now, the direction of force is given by right hand rule.
Since the velocity is in right direction and direction of magnetic field is inward so, by right hand rule the direction of force is up.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the force on the proton is
