Chapter 27 Problem 27.4

Question

A particle with mass \(1.81 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~kg}\) and a charge of \(1.22 \times 10^{-8}\mathrm{\ C}\) has, at a given instant, a velocity \(\overrightarrow{\boldsymbol{v}}=(3.00 \times \left.10^{4} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\right) \hat{\boldsymbol{J}}\). What are the magnitude and direction of the particle's acceleration produced by a uniform magnetic field \(\overrightarrow{\boldsymbol{B}}=(1.63 \mathrm{~T}) \hat{\boldsymbol{\imath}}~+ (0.980 \mathrm{~T}) \hat{\boldsymbol{j}} ?\)

Solution

Step 1 of 3

In the given problem, a particle of mass m=1.81 and charge q=1.22 is moving with speed =(3.

We need to find the acceleration produced by a uniform magnetic field .

In order to calculate the acceleration, we need find the magnetic force; which is given by  and Newton’s second law gives the resulting acceleration.
