    Magnetic Force on an a Particle

    ok! SO I figured it out! You use pathagoreum Theorem and you end up getting that B= 0.9756 T I pluged that in and got the answert to be: 2.13 e-3 N NOW though I don't understand what they are asking for when they ask: What is the direction of the magnetic force on the particle relative to...

    Magnetic Force on an a Particle

    Homework Statement A particle with a charge of 35.7 uC moves with a speed of 61.1 m/s in the positive x direction. The magnetic field in this region of space has a component of 0.527 T in the positive y direction, and a component of 0.820 T in the positive z direction. What is the magnitude...

    Speed of an Electron and the Magnetic field

    Thank you! I can't believe I saw that equation as having everything in the denominator! Thank you!

    Speed of an Electron and the Magnetic field

    No I thought that was the equation, at least that is the one on my physics book? Is there another equation to find the speed of an electron?

    What is the Current in the Left Wire to Create a Zero Magnetic Field at Point C?

    The distance would be 16.58 cm = 0.166 m So plugging that into the proportion equation: I2/R2=I1/R1 11.5A/.0588m = I1/0.166m I1= 32.5A Ok I think I forgot to change the cm to meter the first time! But thank you for your help!

    Electric Field and Magnetic Field

    The velocity will point in the negative Y direction according to the right hand rule. The equation comes from: netForce= qE-qvB And when you plug all the values in i keep getting: 184.8 m/s but my computer says it is wrong.

    What is the Current in the Left Wire to Create a Zero Magnetic Field at Point C?

    Homework Statement Two straight parallel wires carry currents in opposite directions. The wire on the right carries a current of I2 = 11.5 A. Point A is the midpoint between the wires. The total distance between the wires is d = 10.7 cm. Point C is 5.88 cm to the right of the right wire...

    Electric Field and Magnetic Field

    Homework Statement A 6.45 uC particle moves through a region of space where an electric field of magnitude 1220 N/C points in the positive direction, and a magnetic field of magnitude 1.19 T points in the positive z direction. If the net force acting on the particle is 6.45E-3 N in the...

    How Do You Calculate Power Loss in High-Voltage Transmission Lines?

    OK I keep getting it wrong so I now tried: P=I^2*R I did 0.345ohms/km * 173 km= 59.685 Then I did P=I^2*R to get> (1.05kA*1.05kA)*(59.685ohms)= 65.8 kW BUT it keeps telling me I am WRONG! PLease help!
