Question:

A proton is projected with a speed of $4 × 10^6\, m s^{-1}$ horizontally from east to west. A uniform magnetic field of strength $3.0 × 10^{-3} T$ exists in the vertically upward direction. The acceleration of the proton is

(Given: mass of proton $1.67 × 10^{-27} kg$; charge on proton $1.6 × 10^{-19} C$)

Options:

zero

$11.5 × 10^{11}\, m s^{-2}$

$18.3 × 10^{10}\, m s^{-2}$

$32.1 × 10^{11}\, m s^{-2}$

Correct Answer:

$11.5 × 10^{11}\, m s^{-2}$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → $11.5 × 10^{11}\, m s^{-2}$
