What is the force, in units of femtoNewtons, on an electron moving at a velocity of 7.26 x 106 ms-1 perpendicularly to a magnetic field when the magnetic flux density of 0.049 T?

What is the force in units of femtoNewtons on an electron moving at a velocity of 726 x 106 ms1 perpendicularly to a magnetic field when the magnetic flux densi class=

Answer:

56.9 fN

Explanation:

The force exerted on the electron is:

[tex]F=Bqv[/tex]

where

B is the magnetic field strength

q is the electron's charged

v is the speed of the electron

In our problem,

B = 0.049 T

[tex]q=1.6\cdot 10^{-19} C[/tex]

[tex]v=7.26\cdot 10^6 m/s[/tex]

Therefore, the force is

[tex]F=(0.049 T)(1.6\cdot 10^{-19} C)(7.26\cdot 10^6 m/s)=5.69\cdot 10^{-14} N=56.9 fN[/tex]
