Question

1. A 2 C charge moving at 15 m/s enters into a magnetic field of strength 8

T. What is the maximum force experienced by this charge? *

Answer 1

Answer:

Maximum force on the charge is 240 N

Explanation:

We have given charge q = 2C

Speed of the charge v = 15 m/sec

Magnetic field B = 8 T

It is known that magnetic force on the moving charge is given by

$F=qvBsin\Theta$

Maximum force will be equal to

$F=qvB$

$F=2\times 15\times 8=240N$

Therefore maximum force on the charge is 240 N
