j^a. Magnetic force experienced by the electron isFB=0.624×10-13Nk^~6.2×10-14Nk^

b. Magnetic force experienced by the proton isFB=-0.624×10-13Nk¯~6.2×10-14Nk^

Step by step solution

01

Given 

v=2.0×106i¯+3.0×106j^B=0.030i^-0.15j^

02

Determining the concept 

Find the magnetic force on the electron using the formula for magnetic force in terms of charge, magnetic field strength, and velocity of electron.

Formulae are as follow:

FB=ev×B

Where, FB is magnetic force, v is velocity, B is magnetic field, e is charge of particle.

03

(a) Determining the magnetic force experienced by the electron 

The magnetic force experienced by the electron is,

FB=ev×B

FB=-1.6×10-192.0×106i^+3.0×106j^×0.030i^-0.15j^

v×B=i^j^k^2.0×1063.0×10600.030-0.150v×B=2.0×106-0.15-3.0×1060.030k^v×B=-0.39×106k^msT

Hence,

FB=-1.6×10-19-0.39×106k^FB=0.624×10-13Nk^~6.2×10-14Nk^

Hence, the magnetic force experienced by the electron islocalid="1663047307015" FB=-0.624×10-13Nk^~6.2×10-14Nk^

04

(b) Determining the magnetic force experienced by the proton

Since, proton will experience the same magnetic field, and its velocity is the same but charge on it is positive.

Therefore, the magnetic force experienced by proton is FB=-0.624×10-13Nk^~-6.2×10-14Nk^

Hence, the magnetic force experienced by the proton is FB=-0.624×10-13Nk^~-6.2×10-14Nk^

Therefore, the magnetic force on the electron and proton can be found using the formula for magnetic force in terms of charge, magnetic field strength, and velocity of electron.
