A laboratory electromagnet produces a magnetic field of
magnitude 1.57 T. A proton moves through this field with a speed of
5.50 ✕ 106 m/s.
(a) Find the magnitude of the maximum magnetic force that could be
exerted on the proton.
______ N
(b) What is the magnitude of the maximum acceleration of the
proton?
_________ m/s/s
(c) Would the field exert the same magnetic force on an electron
moving through the field with the same speed? (Assume that the
electron is moving in the same direction as the proton.)
yes/no? why?
(d) Would the electron undergo the same acceleration?
yes/no? why?
