What is the weight of the Proton? What is the expression for magnetic force as a function of the proton's speed? Equate those two forces.kevinlikesphysics said:A proton moves eastward in the plane of Earth's magnetic equator so that its distance from the ground remains constant. What is the speed of the proton if Earth's magnetic field points north and has a magnitude of 5.0 10-5 T?
i got .002 m/s but it was wrong
That is the mass of the proton (in kg). What is the weight? (ie. the downward force on the proton).kevinlikesphysics said:the weight of the proton is 1.67e-27 but i still get the wrong answer i got 2.04e-4 can you work it out for me?
A magnetic field refers to the area around a magnet or a moving electric charge where the influence of the magnet or charge can be felt. It is a vector quantity, which means it has both magnitude and direction.
A magnetic field is created by a magnetic dipole, which is a pair of equal and opposite magnetic poles separated by a small distance. This can occur naturally in certain materials, such as iron, or can be created by passing an electric current through a wire.
The SI unit for magnetic field is tesla (T), named after the famous inventor and scientist Nikola Tesla. Another commonly used unit is gauss (G), with 1 T = 10,000 G.
A magnetic field has several important properties, including the ability to exert a force on other magnets or moving charges, the ability to be affected by external magnetic fields, and the ability to induce an electric current in a conductor.
Magnetic fields have a wide range of applications in daily life. They are used in generators and motors to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy, in speakers and headphones to convert electrical energy into sound, and in MRI machines to image internal body structures. They are also used in compasses for navigation and in credit cards for data storage.
