Question:

A proton moving with a velocity of (6i+8j​) ×105 ms−1 enters uniform magnetic field of induction 5×10−3k T. What is the magnitude of the force acting on the proton?

Options:

0

8×10−16N

3×10−16N

4×10−16N

Correct Answer:

8×10−16N

Explanation:
Force on a charged particle in magnetic field : F = q (v × B)
q : 1.6 x 10-19 C ; v = (6i + 8j) x 105 m s-1 ; B = 5×10−3k T
|F| = 8 x 10-17 N
