Force and acceleration of a traveling proton in a magentic field

[Crichar1]

What force and acceleration would a proton experience if it has a velocity of 2. 106 m/s perpendicular to a magnetic field of 2.0 T?

force: ________ N
acceleration: _______ m/s2

Homework Equations

F = ma
Frictional force = uk(n)
Acceleration=force divided by mass.

Are you familiar with the Lorentz force-law, the magnetic component of the force being F=qvB?

 

[dx]

To find the force on a charge due to electric and magnetic fields, use F = q(E + v x B).
