Question 5

Solution

A proton moves in the magnetic field B = (0.56i+0j+0k) T with a speed of 1.4×10^7 m/s in the directions shown in the figure.

(figures provided in the solution) 

 

Part A: In Figure (a), what is the magnetic force F on the proton? Give your answers in component form. Express vector F in the form of Fx, Fy, Fz, where the x, y, and z components are separated by commas.

 

Part B: In Figure (b), what is the magnetic force F on the proton? Give your answers in component form. Express vector F in the form of Fx, Fy, Fz, where the x, y, and z components are separated by commas.
