The discussion revolves around the application of the equation F = q v B sin(theta) in a physics context, specifically related to calculating the force on a charged particle in a magnetic field. Participants are troubleshooting a calculation involving charge, velocity, magnetic field strength, and the angle between vectors.
The discussion is ongoing with participants providing updates and clarifications. Some have offered insights into the angle theta, while others are exploring the implications of the vectors' orientations. There is no explicit consensus on the correct interpretation of the problem or the calculations involved.
There are mentions of missing information in the original problem statement, including the specification of charge and the complete context of the question. Participants are also referencing additional topics, such as Kirchhoff's current law, indicating a broader scope of inquiry.
Your attachment does not seem to show the whole question. It does not ask for the magnitude of the force and does not specify a charge.MichaelTam said:
What is the angle between vectors ##\mathbf{v}## and ##\mathbf{B}##? Remember that the vectors must be placed tail-to-tail.IloveMathPhychembio said:
Thanks for your help and BTW do you know smth about kirchhoff's current law I've watch sooooo much videos about it and I don't understand why.kuruman said:
Thanks a lot for your help tooIloveMathPhychembio said:
I do know smth about Kirchhoff laws, but if u want to ask a question about them, u have to start a new thrd.IloveMathPhychembio said:
