A particle (q = 5.0 nC, m = 3.0 μg) moves in a region where the magnetic field has components Bx = 2.0 mT, By = 3.0 mT, and Bz = −4.0 mT. At an instant when the speed of the particle is 5.0 km/s and the direction of its velocity is 120° relative to the magnetic field, what is the magnitude of the acceleration of the particle in m/s2?

Explanation:

It is given that,

Charge on the particle, [tex]q=5\ nC=5\times 10^{-9}\ C[/tex]

Mass of the particle, [tex]m=3\ \mu g=3\times 10^{-6}\ g=3\times 10^{-9}\ kg[/tex]

Magnetic field component, [tex]B_x=2\ mT,B_y=3\ mT,B_z=-4\ mT[/tex]

Net magnetic field, [tex]B=\sqrt{2^2+3^2+4^2}=5.38\ mT=0.00538\ T[/tex]

Speed of the particle, v = 5 km/s = 5000 m/s

Angle between velocity and magnetic field, [tex]\theta=120[/tex]

Magnetic force is given by :

[tex]F=qvB\ sin\theta[/tex]

[tex]F=5\times 10^{-9}\times 5000\ m/s\times 0.00538\times sin(120)[/tex]

[tex]F=1.16\times 10^{-7}\ N[/tex]

Acceleration of the particle is given by, [tex]a=\dfrac{F}{m}[/tex]

[tex]a=\dfrac{1.16\times 10^{-7}\ N}{3\times 10^{-9}\ kg}[/tex]

[tex]a=38.6\ m/s^2[/tex]

So, the acceleration of the particle is 38.6 m/s². Hence, this is the required solution.

The acceleration of the particle is 38.87 kg.

Net magnetic field

The net magnetic field is calculated as follows;

[tex]B_{net} = \sqrt{B_x^2 + B_y^2 + B_z^2} \\\\B_{net} = \sqrt{2^2 + 3^2 + 4^2} = 5.385 \ mT[/tex]

Magnetic force on the charge

The magnetic force on the charge is calculated as follows;

[tex]F = qvB \times sin(\theta)\\\\F = 5\times 10^{-9} \times 5\times 10^3 \times 5.385 \times 10^{-3} \times sin(120)\\\\F = 1.166 \times 10^{-7} \ N[/tex]

Acceleration of the particle

The acceleration of the particle is calculated as follows;

[tex]a = \frac{F}{m} \\\\a = \frac{1.166 \times 10^{-7}}{3 \times 10^{-9}} \\\\a = 38.87 \ kg[/tex]
