The magnetic field in a region of space is given by B = 0.510 j T. The velocity vector of an electron moving at 7.60 ✕ 106 m/s makes an angle of 45.0° with this field. What are the magnitudes of the following?(a) the magnetic force on the electron
(b) the electron's acceleration

Respuesta :

Answer:

(a) Magnetic force will be equal to [tex]4.384\times 10^{-13}N[/tex]

(b) Acceleration will be equal to [tex]=0.4818\times 10^{18}m/sec^2[/tex]

Explanation:

We have given magnetic field in a region of space B = 0.510 T

Velocity of electron moving [tex]v=7.6\times 10^6m/sec[/tex]

Angle between velocity and field [tex]\Theta =45^{\circ}[/tex]

Charge on electron [tex]q=1.6\times 10^{-19}C[/tex]

(A) Magnetic force will be equal to [tex]F=qvBsin\Theta[/tex]

So magnetic force [tex]F=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 7.6\times 10^6\times 0.510\times sin45^{\circ}=4.384\times 10^{-13}N[/tex]

(B) Mass of electron [tex]m=9.1\times 10^{-31}kg[/tex]

According to newton's law we know that F = ma , here m is mass and a is acceleration

So acceleration [tex]a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{4.384\times 10^{-13}}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}=0.4818\times 10^{18}m/sec^2[/tex]
