Magnetic field in 3 dimensions

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the net magnetic force acting on a charged particle in a magnetic field with components along the x and y axes. The magnetic field has a magnitude of 0.0431 T in the +x direction and 0.0686 T in the -y direction, while the particle has a charge of +1.70 × 10-5 C and moves along the +z axis at 4.24 × 10^3 m/s. Participants suggest using the Pythagorean theorem to find the net magnetic field strength (Bnet). The equation F = qvBsinθ is referenced for calculating the force, and the angle with respect to the +x axis is also to be determined. The conversation emphasizes the importance of correctly calculating Bnet to proceed with the force calculations.

Homework Statement


One component of a magnetic field has a magnitude of 0.0431 T and points along the +x axis, while the other component has a magnitude of 0.0686 T and points along the -y axis. A particle carrying a charge of +1.70 × 10-5 C is moving along the +z axis at a speed of 4.24 × 103 m/s. (a) Find the magnitude of the net magnetic force that acts on the particle. (b)Determine the angle that the net force makes with respect to the +x axis.

F= qvBsinθ

The Attempt at a Solution


I don't know how to get Bnet, I was thinking it would be by using the pythagorean theorem.

That should work.
 
Thank you
 
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
