A proton and an electron are moving in the +x direction in a magnetic field in the +z
direction. What are the directions of the forces on the proton and electron?

Explanation:

A proton and electron are moving in the positive x direction, this shows that their velocity will be in the positive x direction

V = v•i

Magnetic field Is the positive z direction

B = B•k

A. For proton.

Proton has a positive charge of q

Direction of force on proton

Force is given as

F = q(v×B)

F = q( v•i × B•k)

F = qvB (i×k)

From vectors i×k = -j

F = -qvB •j

Then, for the positive charge, the force will act in the negative direction of the y-axis

B. For electron

Electron has a negative of -q

Direction of force on proton

Force is given as

F = q(v×B)

F = -q( v•i × B•k)

F = -qvB (i×k)

From vectors i×k = -j

F = --qvB •j

F = qvB •j

Then, for the negative charge, the force will act in the positive direction of the y-axis

f=ma a/f/m a= 480/60 a = 8m/s/s that is quick wow
