1. The Lorentz force experienced by a charge q moving with a velocity v in a magnetic field B is given by: F = q(v X B) [where v X B is the cross product of velocity and magnetic field vectors]
a) Magnitude of force F is given by: F = qvBsinθ where θ is the angle between v and B vectors
Maximum magnitude of F is for θ = 90O. Hence, Fmax = qvB
Substituting q = 1.6 x 10-19 C, v = 6 x 106 m/s, B = 1.5 T, we get:
Fmax = 1.6 x 10-19 x 6 x 106 x 1.5 = 14.4 x 10-13 N
b) Maximum acceleration = Fmax/mproton where mproton = mass of proton = 1.672x10-27 kg
Maximum acceleration of proton = 14.4 x 10-13/1.672x10-27 = 8.61x1014 m/s2
c) As the charge on the electron is same as that on the proton, the maximum force experienced by the electron moving with the same speed will be same as that for proton. However, electron's acceleration will be much higher on account of it's lesser mass.
Maximum acceleration of electron = 14.4 x 10-13/9.11x10-31 = 1.58x1018 m/s2
