A proton moves at 2 × 106 m/s perpendicular to a magnetic field of 0.1 T. What is the magnetic force on it? (e = 1.602 × 10-19 C)

  1. 3.204 × 10-12 N
  2. 2.000 × 105 N
  3. 3.204 × 10-14 N
  4. 0.00 N

Answer

C. 3.204 × 10-14 N

Solution

F = qvB = (1.602 × 10-19)(2 × 106)(0.1) = 3.204 × 10-14 N.
