A proton (e = 1.60 X 10-19 C and m = 1.67 X 10-27 kg) is traveling at 90.0° with respect to the direction of a magnetic field of strength 4.50 mT experiences a magnetic forceof 7.50 X 10-17 N. The proton's kinetic energy is:
Magnetic force on a moving charge particle is given by:
F = q*V*B*sin
V = speed of proton = F/(q*B*sin )
Using given values:
B = magnetic field = 4.50 mT = 4.50*10^-3 T
q = charge on ealectron
F = Magnetic force on proton = 7.50*10^-17 N
So,
V = 7.50*10^-17/(1.60*10^-19*4.50*10^-3*sin 90 deg)
V = 104166.67 m/s
Now kinetic energy of proton will be:
KE = (1/2)*m*V^2
KE = (1/2)*1.67*10^-27*104166.67^2
KE = 9.06*10^-18 J
If you need answer in eV, then 1 eV = 1.6*10^-19 J, So
KE = (9.06*10^-18)/(1.6*10^-19) eV = 56.6 eV (Use only if you need final answer in eV)
