Sorry it took me so long to reply--unfortunately I don't--our professor has blocked the answers, so there is no way to see what the correct ones are supposed to be :-\
Anyway thank you for all your help--and I'm going to say it was just a quirk with our homework system.
Thanks!
Ok, I just spend 10 minutes trying to type up this big post as to why I was still confused. But I think I understand it. My handle on vectors apparently is abysmal.
However, for my answer, I just tried -5.94 \times 10^{5} \hat{i}, 0 \hat{j}, 50,000 \hat{k} and still got it wrong. (I've...
Hello,
Thank you for the reply--unfortunately, I'm still really confused.
I understand that the electric field is a vector--what I was trying to do before was split it up into its components--so, first solve for the electric field in the x direction, then the y direction, then the z...
[SOLVED] Lorentz Force Law Problem
Problem and known data:
34.6 An electron travels with velocity 4.9 X 10^6 m/s in the i direction, through a point in space where the magnetic field is .111 T in the j direction. The force on the electron at this point is F=(9.5 x 10^-14 i - 9.5 x 10^-14...
