1. A proton of charge + 1.6 x 10^(-19) C and mass 1.67 x 10^(-27)kg is introduced into a region of B = 1.5 T with an initial velocity of 1.25 x 10^6 m/s perpendicular to B. What is the radius of the proton's path?
Force on proton = F= q v B sin theta
where theta is the angle between the velocity and the direction of the magnetic field
in this case theta = 90 degrees therefore Sin theta = 1
Therefore Force on proton = F= q v B sin theta = q v B x 1 = qvB
This force provides the centripetal force= m v ^2 / r
Equating the two
mv^2/r = qvB
or r= mv/ qB
m= 1.67 x 10^(-27) kg
v= 1.25 x 10^6 m/s
B= 1.5 T
q= 1.6 x 10^(-19) C
Therefore r= mv/ qB = 0.0087 m
Answer: radius of the proton's path= 0.0087 m
