Homework Statement

an electron is rotating around a proton with a velocity of 2*10^6 m/s on circular path of diameter 5*10^-11 m. what is the magnetic field (B) ?
the centripetal force on the electron and the magnetic force should be equal and mv^2/r = Bqv or
B= mv/qr.

Homework Equations


centripetal force F=mv^2/r
magnetic force = Bqv.
