A particle with charge 7.26 * 10-8 C is moving in a region where there is a uniform 0.650-T magnetic field in the +x-direction. At a particular instant, the velocity of the particle has components vx = -1.68 * 104 m/s, vy = -3.11 * 104 m/s, and vz = 5.85 * 104 m/s. What are the components of the force on the particle at this time?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The force components areFx=0,Fy=2.76×103N,Fz=1.47×103N

Step by step solution

01

Magnetic force

The magnetic force is given by

FB=q(v×B)

02

Determine the magnetic force components acting on that particle

The magnetic force acting on a charged particle is

FB=q(v×B)

Therefore,

F=qv×B=qi^j^k^vxvyvzBxByBz

Therefore, the components of the force are

Fx=q(vyBzvzBy)=0AndFy=q(vzBxvxBz)=qvzBx=(7.26×108C)(5.85×104m/s)(0.650T)=2.76×103N

And,

Fz=q(vxByvyBx)=qvyBx=(7.26×108C)(3.11×104m/s)(0.650T)=1.47×103N

Therefore, the force components areFx=0,Fy=2.76×103N,Fz=1.47×103N

A beam of protons traveling at 1.20 km/s enters a uniform magnetic field, traveling perpendicular to the field. The beam exits the magnetic field, leaving the field in a direction pependicurlar to its original direction (Fig. E27.24). The beam travels a distance of 1.10 cm while in the field. What is the magnitude of the magnetic field?

Electrons in an electric circuit pass through a resistor. The wire on either side of the resistor has the same diameter.(a) How does the drift speed of the electrons before entering the resistor compare to the speed after leaving the resistor? (b) How does the potential energy for an electron before entering the resistor compare to the potential energy after leaving the resistor? Explain your reasoning.

Electric eels generate electric pulses along their skin that can be used to stun an enemy when they come into contact with it. Tests have shown that these pulses can be up to 500V and produce currents of 80mA(or even larger). A typical pulse lasts for 10ms. What power and how much energy are delivered to the unfortunate enemy with a single pulse, assuming a steady current?
