Question:

A proton is projected horizontally from east to west in a uniform magnetic field of strength $3.0 \times 10^{-3} T$, with a speed of $2 \times 10^6 ms^{-1}$. The magnetic field exists in vertically upward direction, then the force on proton due to the magnetic field will be:

Options:

$9.6 \times 10^{-16} N$ towards north

$9.6 \times 10^{-16} N$ towards south

$4.8 \times 10^{-16} N$ vertically upward

$2.4 \times 10^{-28} N$ towards south

Correct Answer:

$9.6 \times 10^{-16} N$ towards north

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → $9.6 \times 10^{-16} N$ towards north
