Question

A 20 N south magnetic force pushes a charged particle traveling with a velocity of 4 m/s west through a 5 T magnetic field pointing downwards . What is the charge of the particle ?

Answer 1

Charge of the particle is 1 coulomb.

Step-by-step explanation:

Force, F:

`{ \bf{F=BeV}}`

F is magnetic force.

B is the magnetic flux density.

e is the charge of the particle.

V is the velocity

`{ \sf{20 = (5 * e * 4)}} \\ { \sf{20e = 20}} \\ { \sf{e = 1 \: coulomb}}`
