Question
A source injects an electron of speed v = 1.5 X 107 mls into a uniform magnetic field of magnitude B = 1.0 X 10-3 T. The velocity of the electron makes an angle B = 10 with the direction of the magnetic field. Find the distance d from the point of injection at which the electron next crosses the field line that passes through the injection point.
Solution
The first step in solving 28 problem number 32 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A source injects an electron of speed v = 1.5 X 107 mls into a uniform magnetic field of magnitude B = 1.0 X 10-3 T. The velocity of the electron makes an angle B = 10 with the direction of the magnetic field. Find the distance d from the point of injection at which the electron next crosses the field line that passes through the injection point.
From the textbook chapter Magnetic Fields you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
