Answer:
the charge of the particle is 2.47 x 10⁻¹⁹ C
Explanation:
Given;
mass of the particle, m = 6.64 x 10⁻²⁷ kg
velocity of the particle, v = 8.7 x 10⁵ m/s
strength of the magnetic field, B = 1.3 T
radius of the circle, r = 18 mm = 1.8 x 10⁻³ m
The magnetic force experienced by the charge is calculated as;
F = ma = qvB
where;
q is the charge of the particle
a is the acceleration of the charge in the circular path
[tex]a = \frac{v^2}{r} \\\\ma = qvB\\\\q = \frac{ma}{vB} \\\\q = \frac{mv^2}{rvB} = \frac{mv}{rB} \\\\q = \frac{(6.64\times 10^{-27} ) \times (8.7\times 10^5)}{(1.8\times 10^{-2}) \times (1.3)} \\\\q = 2.47 \ \times 10^{-19} \ C[/tex]
Therefore, the charge of the particle is 2.47 x 10⁻¹⁹ C
