An electron moves with velocity v⃗ =(5.9i−6.4j)×104m/s in a magnetic field B⃗ =(−0.63i+0.65j)T. Determine the z-component of the force on the electron. Fz=?

Answer:

Explanation:

Force on the electron = q ( v x B )

q = - 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹

v = (5.9i−6.4j)×10⁴

B = (−0.63i+0.65j)

v x B = (5.9i−6.4j)×10⁴  x (−0.63i+0.65j)

= (3.835  - 4.032 ) x 10⁴ k

= - 1970 k

Force on the electron = q ( v x B )

= - 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ x -1970 k

= 3.152 x 10⁻¹⁶ k

z-component of the force on the electron

Fz = 3.152 x 10⁻¹⁶ N
