A proton moves through a magnetic field at 26.1 % of the speed of light. At a location where the field has a magnitude of 0.00667 T and the proton's velocity makes an angle of 139 ∘ with the field, what is the magnitude F B of the magnetic force acting on the proton? Use c = 2.998 × 10 8 m/s for the speed of light and e = 1.602 × 10 − 19 C as the elementary charge.

Answer:

[tex]5.48\cdot 10^{-14} N[/tex]

Explanation:

When a charged particle is moving in a region with a magnetic field, the particle experiences a force perpendicular to its direction of motion. The magnitude of this force is given by

[tex]F=qvB sin \theta[/tex]

where

q is the charge of the particle

v is its velocity

B is the strength of the magnetic field

[tex]\theta[/tex] is the angle between the direction of v and B

In this problem we have:

[tex]q=1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C[/tex] is the charge of the proton

[tex]v=0.261 c[/tex] is the speed of the proton, where

[tex]c=2.998\cdot 10^8 m/s[/tex] is the speed of light

[tex]B=0.00667 T[/tex] is the strength of the magnetic field

[tex]\theta=139^{\circ}[/tex] is the angle between the direction of the proton and the magnetic field

Substituting, we find the magnitude of the force:

[tex]F=(1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(0.261\cdot 2.998\cdot 10^8)(0.00667)(sin 139^{\circ})=5.48\cdot 10^{-14} N[/tex]

The magnitude of the magnetic force acting on the proton is [tex]5.46*10^{-14} N[/tex]

Force on charge :

When a charge particle is moving in magnetic field.

Then force is given as,  [tex]F=qvBsin(\theta)[/tex]

where

  • [tex]q[/tex] is the charge of the particle
  • [tex]v[/tex] is velocity
  • [tex]B[/tex] is the strength of the magnetic field
  • [tex]\theta[/tex] is the angle between the direction of [tex]v[/tex] and [tex]B[/tex]

Given that, [tex]q=1.6*10^{-19}C,v=0.261*3*10^{8}=7.8*10^{7} ,B=0.00667T,\theta=139[/tex]

Substitute all values in above relation.

         [tex]F=1.6*10^{-19}*7.8*10^{7} *0.00667T*sin(139)\\\\F=5.46*10^{-14} N[/tex]
