Chapter 31: Q. 1 (page 900)

1. Andre is flying his spaceship to the left through the laboratory magnetic field of FIGURE Q31.1.

a. Does Andre see a magnetic field? If so, in which direction does it point?

b. Does Andre see an electric field? If so, in which direction does it point?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Part (a). Yes, Andre will experience magnetic.

Part (b) Yes, Andre will experience electric fields.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a)

As it is given that a spaceship is moving towards left and perpendicular to its velocity a magnetic field B→is available, therefore Andre will experience the same magnetic field (B→)inside the spaceship.

02

Part (b)

Due to Lorentz's Force, all the charges on the body of spaceship will experience a force in the direction (v→×B→)and start accumulating on two sides of spaceship.

Due to this accumulation of charged, Andre will experience on electric field opposite to flow of these charges i.e., opposite to the direction of(v→×B→)
