Question
As seen in previous chapters, any object with electric charge, stationary or moving, other than the charged object that created the field, experiences a force in an electric field. Also, any object with electric charge, stationary or moving, can create an electric field (Chapter 23). Similarly, an electric current or a moving electric charge, other than the current or charge that created the field, experiences a force in a magnetic field (Chapter 29), and an electric current cre-ates a magnetic field (Section 30.1). (a) To understand how a moving charge can also create a magnetic field, consider a particle with charge q moving with velocity v S. Define the position vector r S 5 r r^ leading from the particle to some location. Show that the magnetic field at that location is B S 5 m0 4p q v S 3 r^ r 2 (b) Find the magnitude of the magnetic field 1.00 mm to the side of a proton moving at 2.00 3 107 m/s. (c) Find the magnetic force on a second proton at this point, moving with the same speed in the opposite direction. (d) Find the electric force on the second proton.
