2 Problem A electron that has a velocity v= (2x10 6 m/s) i + (3 x 10 6 m/s) j move through a magnetic field, B=(0.030)i-(0.15)j. a) Find the force on the electron b) Recalculate for a proton.

3 F=qv x B q= x F=(-1.602x )*(-3.9 x 10 5 ) k F=(6.2x N) k If a proton, then q=1.602 x so F=(-6.2x N) k (opposite direction of e)

4 Problem A 150-g ball containing 4.0 x 10 6 excess electrons is dropped into a 125-m vertical shaft. At the bottom of the shaft, the ball suddenly enters a uniform horizontal magnetic field that has magnitude T and direction from east to west. If air resistance is negligibly small, find the magnitude and direction of the force that this magnetic field exerts on the ball as it enters the field.

5 Prep Work q=4 x 10 6 e = 4 x 10 6 * x q=6.408 x No air resistance so mechanic energy, E=KE+U is conserved. (KE 2 - 0)=-(0-U 1 ) ½ m v 2 =mgy V 2 =2gy (y=125 m) V=sqrt(2*9.8*125)=49.5 m/s
