A proton moves perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field B with arrow at a speed of 2.20 107 m/s and experiences an acceleration of 1.90 1013 m/s2 in the positive x-direction when its velocity is in the positive z-direction. Determine the magnitude and direction of the field.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The magnitude and direction of the magnetic field is 0.009014 T in the negative y direction.

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed [tex]v = 2.20\times10^7\ m/s[/tex]

Acceleration [tex]a=1.90\times10^{13}\ m/s^2[/tex]

We need to calculate the magnetic field

Using formula of magnetic field

[tex]F=qvB[/tex]....(I)

Using newton's second law

[tex] F= ma[/tex]....(II)

From equation (I) and (II)

[tex]ma=qvB[/tex]

Put the value into the formula

[tex]1.90\times10^{13}\times1.67\times10^{-27}=1.6\times10^{-19}\times2.20\times10^{7}\timesB[/tex]

[tex]3.173\times10^{-14}=1.6\times10^{-19}\times2.20\times10^{7}\timesB[/tex]

[tex]B=\dfrac{3.173\times10^{-14}}{1.6\times10^{-19}\times2.20\times10^{7}}[/tex]

[tex]B=0.009014\ T[/tex]

We need to calculate the direction of the field

Using the right hand rule, point the right hand fingers along the velocity which is in the positive z direction.

Now, if we curl the fingers along the direction of magnetic field that is in the negative y direction, then the thumb will point in the positive x direction.

Hence, The magnitude and direction of the magnetic field is 0.009014 T in the negative y direction.
