Answer: q = -52.5 μC
Step-by-step explanation:
The complete question is given thus;
A point charge Q moves on the x-axis in the positive direction with a speed of 280 m/s. A point P is on the y-axis at y=+70mm. The magnetic field produced at the point P, as the charge moves through the origin, is equal to -0.30uTk. What is the charge Q? (uo=4pi x 10^-7 T m/A).
SOLVING:
from the given parameters we can solve this problem.
Given that the
Speed = 280 m/s
y = 70mm
B = -30 * 10⁻⁶T
Using the equation for magnetic field we have;
Β = μqv*r / 4πr²
making q (charge) the subject of formula we have that;
q = B * 4 *πr² / μqv*r
substituting the values gives us
q = (-0.3*10⁻⁶Tk * 4π * 0.07²) / (4π*10⁻⁷ * 280 ) = - [14.7 * 10⁻¹⁰k / 2.8 * 10⁻⁵ k ]
q = -52.5 μC
