Answer:
(a)
[tex]\overrightarrow{F}=4.58\times10^{-14}\widehat{K}N[/tex]
(b) [tex]\overrightarrow{F}=- 4.58\times10^{-14}\widehat{K}N[/tex]
Explanation:
Vx = 1.6 x 10^6 m/s
Vy = 2.6 x 10^6 m/s
Bx = 0.024 T
By = - 0.14 T
charge of electron, q = - 1.6 x 10^-19 C
charge of proton, q = 1.6 x 10^-19 C
(a) Force on electron is given by
[tex]\overrightarrow{F}=q(\overrightarrow{V}\times \overrightarrow{B})[/tex]
Substituting the values
[tex]\overrightarrow{F}=-1.6\times10^{-19}{\left ( 1.6\times 10^{6}\widehat{i}+2.6 \times 10^{6}\widehat{j} \right )\times \left ( 0.024\widehat{i}-0.14\widehat{j} \right )}[/tex]
[tex]\overrightarrow{F}=4.58\times10^{-14}\widehat{K}N[/tex]
(b) Force on proton is given by
[tex]\overrightarrow{F}=q(\overrightarrow{V}\times \overrightarrow{B})[/tex]
Substituting the values
[tex]\overrightarrow{F}=1.6\times10^{-19}{\left ( 1.6\times 10^{6}\widehat{i}+2.6 \times 10^{6}\widehat{j} \right )\times \left ( 0.024\widehat{i}-0.14\widehat{j} \right )}[/tex]
[tex]\overrightarrow{F}=- 4.58\times10^{-14}\widehat{K}N[/tex]
