A magnetic field of 0.2 T is acting in the south-west direction. (You can ignore the earth’s magnetic field.) A particle of mass 0.06 kg and charge 0.6 C is travelling in the west direction with unknown speed. It is seen to move vertically upwards with an acceleration of 8 m/s2. a) What is the total force acting on this particle in the (upwards) vertical direction? b) What is the magnitude of the magnetic force acting on this particle? (You can assume that the acceleration due to the earth’s gravity is 10 m/s2 .) c) What is speed of the particle?

Question

A magnetic field of 0.2 T is acting in the south-west direction. (You can ignore the earth’s magnetic field.) A particle of mass 0.06 kg and charge 0.6 C is travelling in the west direction with unknown speed. It is seen to move vertically upwards with an acceleration of 8 m/s2.

a)

What is the total force acting on this particle in the (upwards) vertical direction?

b)

What is the magnitude of the magnetic force acting on this particle?  (You can assume that the acceleration due to the earth’s gravity is 10 m/s2

.)

 

 

 

 

c)

What is speed of the particle?
