HWPhysics Magnetic force and Particle Motion

  1. A positive charge of 0.25C moves horizontally to the right at a speed of 2.0x102 m/s and enters a magnetic field directed vertically downward. If it experiences a force of 20N, what is the magnetic field strength?
  1. An electron (1.6 × 10-19 C)moves south at a velocity of 1.2 x 105 m/s and has a magnetic force of 2.2 x 10-10 N exerted on it. If the magnetic field points downward, what is the magnitude of the magnetic field?
  1. A charge of 0.050C moves vertically in a field of 0.080T that is oriented horizontally. What speed must the charge have to experience a force of 10N?
  1. A singly charged positive ion (3.2 × 10-19 C) has a mass of 6.68 × 10–27kg. After being accelerated through a potential difference, it has a velocity of 5.66 × 104 m/s. The ion then enters a magnetic field of 0.500 T, in a direction perpendicular to the field. Calculate the magnitude of the magnetic force on the ion.
  1. A beam of protons (mp =1.672 × 10-27kg) is accelerated to a speed of 5.0x106 m/s in a particle accelerator and emerges horizontally from the accelerator into a uniform magnetic field. What B field would cancel out the force of gravity and keep the beam of protons moving in a straight line? (Hint: Gravitational force must equal Magnetic force)
  1. A proton (1.60 × 10-19 C), with a mass of 1.672 × 10-27kg, travels with a speed of 3.0 × 106m/s perpendicular with the direction of a magnetic field of 0.30 T. What are:

(a) the magnitude of the magnetic force on the proton

(b) the proton’s acceleration?

  1. A proton(1.60 × 10-19 C), with a mass of 1.672 × 10-27kg,travels with a speed of 1.90 × 104m/s at an angle of 37° with the direction of a magnetic field of 0.85 T. What are:

(a) the magnitude of the magnetic force on the proton

(b) the proton’s acceleration?
