1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
In a television set, electrons are accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 19kV. The electrons then pass through a 0.28T magnetic field that deflects them to the appropriate spot on the screen. Find the magnitude of the maximum magnetic force that an electron can experience.
2. Relevant equations
F=qvBsin(theta)
E=-V/x
3. The attempt at a solution
I am trying to figure out where the potential difference comes into play but am not sure because E and x are not given. Any hints would be great, thanks.
