A wire of length 0.50 m carries a current of 0.10 A inthe positive x-direction, parallel to the ground. If thewire has a weight of 1.0 3 1022 N, what is the minimummagnitude magnetic field that exerts a magneticforce on the wire equal to the wires weight? (a) 0.20 T(b) 0.30 T (c) 0.40 T (d) 0.50 T (e) 0.60 T

Question
Figure P19.35a is a diagram of a device called a velocityselector, in which particles of a specific velocity passthrough undeflected while those with greater or lesservelocities are deflected either upwards or downwards.An electric field is directed perpendicular to a magneticfield, producing an electric force and a magneticforce on the charged particle that can be equal in magnitudeand opposite in direction (Fig. P19.35b) andhence cancel. Show that particles with a speed of v 5E/B will pass through the velocity selector undeflected.
Solution
The first step in solving 19 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Figure P19.35a is a diagram of a device called a velocityselector, in which particles of a specific velocity passthrough undeflected while those with greater or lesservelocities are deflected either upwards or downwards.An electric field is directed perpendicular to a magneticfield, producing an electric force and a magneticforce on the charged particle that can be equal in magnitudeand opposite in direction (Fig. P19.35b) andhence cancel. Show that particles with a speed of v 5E/B will pass through the velocity selector undeflected.
From the textbook chapter Multiple Choice Questions you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
