Chapter 28 Problem 12

Question

At time tj, an electron is sent along the positive direction of an x axis, through both an electric field E and a magnetic field If, with E directed parallel to the y axis. Figure 28-32 gives the y component Fnet y of the net force on the electron due to the two fields, as a function of the electron's speed v at time fl' The scale of the velocity axis is set by Vs = 100.0 Z m ,. 0 :::;, i " k," 2 0 0 -1 -2 v (m/s) mls. The x and z components of the Fig. 28-32 12. net force are zero at fl' Assuming B, = 0, find (a) the magnitude E and (b) If in unit-vector notation.

Solution

Step 1 of 7)

The first step in solving 28 problem number 12 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: At time tj, an electron is sent along the positive direction of an x axis, through both an electric field E and a magnetic field If, with E directed parallel to the y axis. Figure 28-32 gives the y component Fnet y of the net force on the electron due to the two fields, as a function of the electron's speed v at time fl' The scale of the velocity axis is set by Vs = 100.0 Z m ,. 0 :::;, i " k," 2 0 0 -1 -2 v (m/s) mls. The x and z components of the Fig. 28-32 12. net force are zero at fl' Assuming B, = 0, find (a) the magnitude E and (b) If in unit-vector notation.
From the textbook chapter Magnetic Fields you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
