Tricky Magnetic Field Question... (Proton Enters Magnetic Field...)
Here are 2 pictures.
1. This is the written question: (It's a long one.)
2. Here is the given diagram for the question..
Possible Equations to use:
fm = qvbsinAThoughts / attempts:
Initially i thought because the charge entered the field perpendicular to both the magnetic force.. that it would be a relation between Centrepetal force and magetnic force..
FM = FC
I solved for this and found the radius to be 5.18meters... which amkes no sense, so obviusly this technique can't be used..
Another strategy I'm thinking at the moment, is perhaps the angle at which the particle deviates could be related to the Radius and small (d) distance triangle... to solve using pythagereom thereom...However I'm not sure how i could solve this angle, unless i relate the Magnetic Force to something.. Perhaps to Fnet = Ma, FM = Fneti'm also having a problem considering the accelleration, and i would like to know, Gravity is involved in the acceleration of this object at all, cause it does not mention that gravity is negligible,
Honestly, I just need a couple tips to be pointed in the right/ how to consider things... and last but not least...I am really thinking, that the direction of the Force (FM) is in the direction where the charge is accelerating constantly(to the left), and that the direction it travels 'upward' from the diagram, is the direction in which the object travels in uniform motion, with no acceleration.. I believe this because the magnetic field vector is in the direction in which deflection occurs... (left) and thus must only be able to affect that 'horizontal' components.. leaving the vertical component unaffected...
Another reason i believe there is no accelleartion 'vertically' (from diagram) is because the charges initially velocity, has only one component.. It reminds me of When you reach the Maximum H in a projectile... Where your component vertically is 0, and your horizontal component is (vx*T) in relation to this..
I can see that after entering the field, the Charge gets two velocity components...
So yea.. please give me some reccomendations ppzl <3So yea any pointers... I don't want to throw any solutions up yet.. I just want some advice before i put something half decent up and worth some ones time to look at.I really want to treat it like a projectile... in some way shape or form *******
