A spatially uniform magnetic field cannot exert a magnetic force on a particle in which of the following circumstances? There may be more than one correct statement. (a) The particle is charged. (b) The particle moves perpendicular to the magnetic field. (c) The particle moves parallel to the magnetic field. (d) The magnitude of the magnetic field changes with time. (e) The particle is at rest.

Question
Protons having a kinetic energy of 5.00 MeV (1 eV 5 1.60 3 10219 J) are moving in the positive x direction and enter a magnetic field B S 5 0.050 0k^ T directed out of the plane of the page and extending from x 5 0 to x 5 1.00 m as shown in Figure P29.78. (a) Ignoring relativistic effects, find the angle a between the initial velocity vector of the proton beam and the velocity vector after the beam emerges from the field. (b) Calculate the y component of the protons momenta as they leave the magnetic field.
Solution
The first step in solving 29 problem number 78 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Protons having a kinetic energy of 5.00 MeV (1 eV 5 1.60 3 10219 J) are moving in the positive x direction and enter a magnetic field B S 5 0.050 0k^ T directed out of the plane of the page and extending from x 5 0 to x 5 1.00 m as shown in Figure P29.78. (a) Ignoring relativistic effects, find the angle a between the initial velocity vector of the proton beam and the velocity vector after the beam emerges from the field. (b) Calculate the y component of the protons momenta as they leave the magnetic field.
From the textbook chapter Magnetic Fields you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
