A charge of 8.4 × 10–4 C moves at an angle of 35° to a magnetic field that has a field strength of 6.7 × 10–3 T. If the magnetic force is 3.5 × 10–2 N, how fast is the charge moving?

Answer:

The charge is moving with the velocity of
1.1*10^(4)\ m/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Charge
q =8.4*10^(-4)\ C

Angle = 35°

Magnetic field strength
B=6.7*10^(-3)\ T

Magnetic force
F=3.5*10^(-2)\ N

We need to calculate the velocity.

The Lorentz force exerted by the magnetic field on a moving charge.

The magnetic force is defined as:


F = qvB\sin\theta


v = (F)/(qB\sin\theta)

Where,

F = Magnetic force

q = charge

B = Magnetic field strength

v = velocity

Put the value into the formula


v =(3.5*10^(-2))/(8.4*10^(-4)*6.7*10^(-3)*\sin35^(\circ))


v =(3.5*10^(-2))/(8.4*10^(-4)*6.7*10^(-3)*0.57)


v = 10910.36\ m/s


v = 1.1*10^(4)\ m/s

Hence, The charge is moving with the velocity of
1.1*10^(4)\ m/s.
