At a particular instant, a proton (charge e) is
traveling in the x direction at speed v. At
the location of the proton there is a magnetic
field of magnitude B0 in the y direction due
to current running in a nearby coil. What is
the magnetic force on the proton? Choose the
correct option.
1. evB0 z correct
2. evB0 x

3. evB0 y
4. evB0 (
y)
5. evB0 (z )
6. evB0 (
x)
Explanation:
Using the expression for the magnetic force:
~,
F = q ~v B
we obtain

~
F = q ~v B
= e[v(
x) B0 (
y )]
= evB0 [(
x) (
y )] = evB0 z .

2. clockwise correct
3. counterclockwise
Explanation:
To maintain a circular orbit, the magnetic
force on the particle must be directed toward
the center of the circle. From the right hand
rule we see that orbit must be in the clockwise direction for the force to point radially
inwards.

An alpha particle (consisting of two protons
and two neutrons) is moving at a constant
speed in a circle, perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field applied by some currentcarrying coils, making one clockwise revolution every 71 nanoseconds. If the speed is
small compared to the speed of light, what is
the numerical magnitude B of the magnetic
field made by the coils? A proton and a neutron each have a mass of 1.67 1027 kg and
e = 1.6 1019 C.
Correct answer: 1.84734 T.

Explanation:
~ is toFrom the problem, we know that F
wards the center of the circle, ~v is tangential,

A long wire carries a current I1 = 5 A upward,
and a rectangular loop of height h = 0.2 m
and width w = 0.1 m carries a current I2 =

loop is a distance d = 3 cm away from the
long wire. The long wire and the rectangular

Explanation:
To obtain a straight orbit, the upward and
downward forces need to cancel. The force on
a charged particle is
~ =F
~E + F
~ B = q (E
~ + ~v B)
~ .
F
For the force to be zero, we need
~E + F
~B = 0
F
~ E = F
~B .
F
Therefore, the forces are equal and opposite and the magnitude of forces are equal;
~ E k = kF
~Bk .
i.e., kF
The force due to the magnetic field provides
the centripetal force that causes the positive
ions to move in the semicircle.
