A charge of 2 μC is moving with a velocity of 4 x 10⁶ m/s perpendicular to a magnetic field of 0.8 T. What is the magnetic force on the charge?
Q1. A charge of 2 μC is moving with a velocity of 4 x 10⁶ m/s perpendicular to a magnetic field of 0.8 T. What is the magnetic force on the charge?
Answer: 6.4 N
Explanation: F = qvB = 2 x 10⁻⁶ x 4 x 10⁶ x 0.8 = 6.4 N. Option B is wrong due to miscalculation.
