Question

What is the magnetic force on a proton that is moving at 2.5 107 m/s up through a magnetic field that is 0.12 T and pointing toward you? The charge on a proton is 1.6 10-19 C.

A. 4.0 10-12 N down

B. 4.0 10-12 N up

C. 4.8 10-13 N right

D. 4.8 10-13 N left

Answer 1

The magnetic force is given as: F = qvBsinФ
where Ф is the angle between magnetic field (B) & the velocity of charge (v).

Since there is no Ф given, we assume, Ф = 90.
And we know, sin 90 = 1, we get, 
⇒ F = qvB
⇒ F = 1.6×10^(-19) C ×2.5×10^(7)×0.12 T
⇒ F = 0.48 × 10^(-12)
or F = 4.8 × 10^(-13)

Now, using flemingo's left hand rule to find the direction (right).
