Achargedparticle(m=5.0g,q=−70μC)moveshorizontallyataconstantspeedof30km/sina region where the free fall gravitational acceleration is 9.8 m/s2 downward, the electric field is 700 N/C upward, and the magnetic field is perpendicular to the velocity of the particle. What is the magnitude of the magnetic field in this region?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Magnetic field, 0.046 T

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the charged particle, m = 5 g

Charge, [tex]q=-70\ \mu C=-70\times 10^{-6}\ C[/tex]

Electric field, E = 700 N/C

Speed of the charge particle, v = 30 km/s = 30000 m/s

To find,

The magnitude of the magnetic field in this region.

Solution,

The charged particle is moving horizontally with a constant speed, the gravitational force is balanced by the magnetic force and the electric force. [tex]mg=qvB+qE[/tex]

[tex]mg-qE=qvB[/tex]

[tex]B=\dfrac{mg-qE}{qv}[/tex]

[tex]B=\dfrac{5\times 10^{-3}\times 9.8-(-70\times 10^{-6})\times 700}{70\times 10^{-6}\times 30000}[/tex]  

B = 0.046 T

Therefore, the magnitude of the magnetic field in this region is 0.046 T. Hence, this is the required solution.
