Chapter 21 Problem 8

Question

Two charged particles move in the same direction with respect to the same magnetic fi eld. Particle 1 travels three times faster than particle 2. However, each particle experiences a magnetic force of the same magnitude. Find the ratio uq1u/uq2u of the magnitudes of the charges.

Solution

Step 1 of 6)

The first step in solving 21 problem number 8 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Two charged particles move in the same direction with respect to the same magnetic fi eld. Particle 1 travels three times faster than particle 2. However, each particle experiences a magnetic force of the same magnitude. Find the ratio uq1u/uq2u of the magnitudes of the charges.
From the textbook chapter Magnetic Forces and Magnetic Fields you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
