A group of particles is traveling in a magnetic field of unknown magnitude and direction. You observe that a proton moving at 1.70 km/skm/s in the +x+x-direction experiences a force of 2.06×10−16 NN in the +y+y-direction, and an electron moving at 4.70 km/skm/s in the −z−z-direction experiences a force of 8.10×10−16 NN in the +y+y-direction.
What is the magnitude of the magnetic field?
What is the direction of the magnetic field? (in the xzxz-plane)
What is the magnitude of the magnetic force on an electron moving in the −y−y-direction at 3.60 km/skm/s ?
What is the direction of this the magnetic force? (in the xzxz-plane)
