The discussion revolves around calculating the speed of protons in a magnetic field of 0.1T, where a proton beam of 1.5mA is moving in a circular path with a radius of 0.1m. The setup involves understanding the relationship between magnetic forces and circular motion.
Some participants have suggested using the formula for acceleration in circular motion and applying Newton's second law to relate the magnetic force to the motion of the protons. There is ongoing exploration of the necessary equations and concepts without reaching a consensus on a specific solution.
Participants are working within the constraints of the problem statement and are questioning the definitions and relationships involved in calculating the speed of the protons in the magnetic field.
Good. Find an expression for the magnetic force and apply Newton's 2nd law.jbuck886 said:A= v2/r
