Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the force on a charge q moving with velocity v in a magnetic field B?
  • Step 1: Identify the charge (q) that is moving.
  • Step 2: Determine the velocity (v) of the charge.
  • Step 3: Identify the magnetic field (B) in which the charge is moving.
  • Step 4: Find the angle (θ) between the direction of the velocity (v) and the direction of the magnetic field (B).
  • Step 5: Use the formula F = qvBsinθ to calculate the force (F) on the charge.
