A group of particles is travelling in a magnetic field of unknown magnitude and direction. You observe that a proton moving at 1.50 km/s in the +x-direction experiences a force of 2.10×10−16 N in the +y-direction, and an electron moving at 4.40 km/s in the −z-direction experiences a force of 8.20×10−16 N in the +y-direction.
a) What is the magnitude of the magnetic field?
B= ...T ?
b) What is the direction of the magnetic field? (in the xz-plane)
θ = ... ∘ from the −z-direction?
c) What is the magnitude of the magnetic force on an electron moving in the −y-direction at 3.40 km/s ?
F = .... N
d) What is the direction of this the magnetic force? (in the xz-plane)
θ = ... ∘ from the −x-direction?
