Question: (a) An 16O nucleus (charge +8e) moving horizontally from west to east with a speed of 500 km/s experiences a magnetic force of 0.00320 nN
(a) An 16O nucleus (charge +8e) moving horizontally from west to east with a speed of 500 km/s experiences a magnetic force of 0.00320 nN vertically downward. Find the magnitude and direction of the weakest magnetic field required to produce this force. Explain how this same force could be caused by a larger magnetic field.
(b) An electron moves in a uniform, horizontal, 2.10-T magnetic field that is toward the west. What must the magnitude and direction of the minimum velocity of the electron be so that the magnetic force on it will be 4.60 pN, vertically upward? Explain how the velocity could be greater than this minimum value and the force still have this same magnitude and direction.
