A proton moving in a uniform magnetic field with v⃗1=(1.00×106i^)m/s\(\vec{v}\)_1 = (1.00 \(\times\) 10^6\,\(\hat{i}\))\,\(\text{m/s}\) experiences force F⃗1=(1.20×10−16k^)N\(\vec{F}\)_1 = (1.20 \(\times\) 10^{-16}\,\(\hat{k}\))\,\(\text{N}\).

Step 1: Recall the formula for the magnetic force on a charged particle moving in a magnetic field: \( \vec{F} = q \vec{v} \times \vec{B} \), where \( \vec{F} \) is the magnetic force, \( q \) is the charge of the particle, \( \vec{v} \) is the velocity vector, and \( \vec{B} \) is the magnetic field vector.
Step 2: Use the cross product formula \( \vec{v} \times \vec{B} \) to relate the given velocity vectors \( \vec{v}_1 \) and \( \vec{v}_2 \) to their respective force vectors \( \vec{F}_1 \) and \( \vec{F}_2 \). For \( \vec{v}_1 = (1.00 \times 10^6 \hat{i}) \text{ m/s} \) and \( \vec{F}_1 = (1.20 \times 10^{-16} \hat{k}) \text{ N} \), the cross product simplifies to \( \vec{F}_1 = q \vec{v}_1 \times \vec{B} \). Similarly, for \( \vec{v}_2 = (2.0 \times 10^6 \hat{j}) \text{ m/s} \) and \( \vec{F}_2 = (-4.16 \times 10^{-16} \hat{k}) \text{ N} \), use \( \vec{F}_2 = q \vec{v}_2 \times \vec{B} \).
Step 3: Solve for \( \vec{B} \) using the known charge of a proton \( q = 1.60 \times 10^{-19} \text{ C} \). For \( \vec{F}_1 \), substitute \( \vec{v}_1 \) and \( \vec{F}_1 \) into the cross product equation to find the components of \( \vec{B} \). Similarly, use \( \vec{v}_2 \) and \( \vec{F}_2 \) to find the components of \( \vec{B} \).
Step 4: Combine the results from both cases to determine the magnetic field vector \( \vec{B} \). The components of \( \vec{B} \) can be expressed as \( B_x \) and \( B_y \), which are derived from the relationships between \( \vec{v}_1 \), \( \vec{v}_2 \), \( \vec{F}_1 \), and \( \vec{F}_2 \).
Step 5: Calculate the magnitude of \( \vec{B} \) using \( |\vec{B}| = \sqrt{B_x^2 + B_y^2} \), and determine the angle \( \theta \) of \( \vec{B} \) relative to the +x-axis using \( \theta = \tan^{-1}(B_y / B_x) \). Express the angle in counter-clockwise direction from the +x-axis.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Lorentz Force

The Lorentz force describes the force experienced by a charged particle moving through a magnetic field. It is given by the equation \\vec{F} = q(\\vec{v} \times \\vec{B})\\, where \\vec{F} is the force, \\vec{v} is the velocity of the particle, \\vec{B} is the magnetic field, and q is the charge of the particle. The direction of the force is determined by the right-hand rule, which states that if you point your fingers in the direction of \\vec{v} and curl them towards \\vec{B}, your thumb will point in the direction of \\vec{F}.

Magnetic Field

A magnetic field is a vector field that exerts a force on moving charges and magnetic dipoles. It is represented by the symbol \\vec{B} and is measured in teslas (T). The magnetic field can be uniform or vary in space, and its direction is defined as the direction a north pole of a magnet would point. Understanding the properties of the magnetic field is crucial for analyzing the motion of charged particles within it.

Vector Components

Vectors can be broken down into their components along the coordinate axes, typically x, y, and z. For example, a vector \\vec{v} can be expressed as \\vec{v} = v_x \\hat{i} + v_y \\hat{j} + v_z \\hat{k}\\, where \\hat{i}, \\hat{j}, and \\hat{k} are the unit vectors in the x, y, and z directions, respectively. This decomposition is essential for solving problems in physics, as it allows for the application of vector addition and the analysis of forces and motions in multiple dimensions.
