An electron has an initial velocity of (12.0j + 15.0k) km/s and a constant acceleration of (2.00*10^12 i) m/s^2 in a region in which uniform electric and magentic fields are present. If B=(400*10^-6 i)T, find the electric field
The net force acting on the electron is equal to sum of
theforces acting on the electron due to both electric field
andmagnetic field's.i.e.,
Fnet = Fmag +Fele.
ma = (Bv)q + Eq
Where m = mass of the electron = 9.1*10-31kg.
a
= acceleration of the electron. = (2,00 x 10^12 m/s)i.
B
= Magnetic field induction = (400uT)i.
q
= charge of the electron.= 1.6*10-19 col.
v
= velocity of the electron.= (12.0j +15.0k)km/s
E
= Electric field intensity.
therefore ma = q[(Bv)+E].
(Bv)+E = ma/q
E
= (ma/q) - (Bv).
Substitute the values in the in the above equation to find 'E'.
