Homework Statement
A coil ##\vec{B}## a current of intensity ##i## created in ##M## a magnetic field ##\vec{B}_1##. A magnet ##A## created in ##M## a magnetic field ##\vec{B}_2## .

What is the force undergone by a charge particle ##q## with a velocity ##\vec{v}## that is in ##M## at time ##t## ?

Taking into account the mass of the electron.
Relevant Equations
##F=q\cdot v\cdot B\cdot\sin(\vec{v},\vec{B})##

In this question, I would have to calculate the force in respect to time. However, the question gives me the value of the mass of the electron. In my attempt, I didn't take that into account. I just replaced ##v## with ##\frac{d}{t}## and made the Lorentz force undergone by the particle inversely proportional, but this is probably not correct.

Hi,

I think the exercise asks for the force at time ##t## and doesn't want you to calculate a trajectory. (For which there is no information given anyway)

The question didn't give any information or value for a point in time.

So we agree on that. At time ##t##, position, velocity and field are known. There is no ##d## in the problem and you don't need it. Calculate in a straightforward manner with the equation you mention..
