Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the force on a charge moving in a magnetic field given by the equation F = qvB sin(θ)? (2020)
  • Step 1: Identify the variables in the equation F = qvB sin(θ).
  • Step 2: Understand that 'F' represents the force on the charge.
  • Step 3: Recognize that 'q' is the amount of electric charge.
  • Step 4: Know that 'v' is the speed at which the charge is moving.
  • Step 5: Realize that 'B' is the strength of the magnetic field.
  • Step 6: Remember that 'θ' is the angle between the direction of the charge's velocity and the direction of the magnetic field.
  • Step 7: Use the equation to calculate the force by plugging in the values for q, v, B, and θ.
