At the equator near Earth's surface, the magnetic field is approximately 50.0 μT to the north and the electric field is approximately 100 N / C down in particular weather conditions. Find (a) the gravitational force, (b) electric force, and (c) magnetic force on an electron with an instantaneous velocity of 6.00 × 106 m / s directed eastward in this environment. (d) What is the total force on the electron and (e) what is the final acceleration on the electron?

1. The magnetic field at the earth's surface can vary in response to solar activity. During one intense solar storm, the vertical component of the magnetic field changed by 2.8 μT per minute, causing voltage spikes in large loops of the power grid that knocked out power in parts of Canada. Part A) What emf is induced in a square 110 km on a side by this rate of change of field? 2.What is the magnetic field amplitude of an...
