27.48 A particle with charge 7.26 * 10-8 C is moving in a
region where there is a uniform 0.650 T magnetic field in the
+x-direction. At a particular instant, the velocity of the
particle has components vx = -1.68 * 104 m>s, vy = -3.11 *
104 m>s, and vz = 5.85 * 104 m>s. What are the components
of the force on the particle at this time?
Data Given:
B = 0.650 T
Bx = 0.650 T
By = 0 T
BZ = 0 T
Vx = -1.68x104 m/s
Vy = -3.11x104 m/s
Vz = 5.85x104 m/s
From magnetic force;
𝐹 = 𝑞(𝑉 𝑥 𝐵)
𝐹 = 𝐹𝑖 + 𝐹𝑗 + 𝐹𝑘
Using matrices;
𝑖 𝑗 𝑘
𝐹 = [ 𝑉𝑥 𝑉𝑦 𝑉𝑧 ]
𝐵𝑥 𝐵𝑦 𝐵𝑧
𝐹 = 𝑞[𝑖(𝑣𝑦 𝐵𝑧 − 𝑉𝑧 𝐵𝑦 ) − 𝑗(𝑣𝑥 𝐵𝑧 − 𝑉𝑧 𝐵𝑥 ) + 𝑘(𝑣𝑥 𝐵𝑦 − 𝑉𝑦 𝐵𝑥 )]
Solve for each component and substitute the given values;
𝐹𝑥 = 𝑞(𝑣𝑦 𝐵𝑧 − 𝑉𝑧 𝐵𝑦 )
𝐹𝑥 = 7.26𝑥10−8 (𝑣𝑦 (0) − 𝑉𝑧 (0))
𝐹𝑥 = 0𝑁
𝐹𝑦 = 𝑞(𝑣𝑥 𝐵𝑧 − 𝑉𝑧 𝐵𝑥 )
𝐹𝑦 = 7.26𝑥10−8 (𝑣𝑥 (0) − 𝑉𝑧 (0.650))
𝐹𝑦 = 7.26𝑥10−8 (− (5.85𝑥104 )(0.650))
𝐹𝑦 = 2.76 𝑥 10−3 𝑁
𝐹𝑧 = 𝑞(𝑣𝑥 𝐵𝑦 − 𝑉𝑦 𝐵𝑥 )
𝐹𝑧 = 7.26𝑥10−8 (𝑣𝑥 (0) − 𝑉𝑦 (0.650))
𝐹𝑧 = 7.26𝑥10−8 (− (−3.11𝑥104 )(0.650))
𝐹𝑧 = 1.47 𝑥 10−3 𝑁
