### Question 12:

A charge \( q = +1.60 \times 10^{-12} \, \text{C} \) moves with a speed of \( 4.32 \times 10^{4} \, \text{m/s} \) through a constant magnetic field of strength \( 5.65 \, \text{T} \). The charge's velocity vector makes an angle of \( 25.1^\circ \) with the direction of the magnetic field. What is the magnetic force magnitude exerted on the charge (in Newtons \(\text{N}\))?

### Explanation:

To solve for the magnetic force \( F \) exerted on the charge, we can use the formula:
\[ F = qvB \sin(\theta) \]
where:
- \( q \) is the charge,
- \( v \) is the speed of the charge,
- \( B \) is the magnetic field strength,
- \( \theta \) is the angle between the velocity vector and the magnetic field.

Given:
- \( q = 1.60 \times 10^{-12} \, \text{C} \)
- \( v = 4.32 \times 10^{4} \, \text{m/s} \)
- \( B = 5.65 \, \text{T} \)
- \( \theta = 25.1^\circ \)

Substituting these values into the formula:
\[ F = (1.60 \times 10^{-12} \, \text{C})(4.32 \times 10^{4} \, \text{m/s})(5.65 \, \text{T}) \sin(25.1^\circ) \]

Calculate \( \sin(25.1^\circ) \):
\[ \sin(25.1^\circ) \approx 0.424 \]

Then the force \( F \) is:
\[ F = (1.60 \times 10^{-12})(4.32 \times 10^{4})(5.65)(0.424) \]
\[ F \approx (1.60 \times 4.32 \times 5.65 \times 0.424) \times 10^{-12} \]
\[ F \approx (1.60 \times 4.32 \times 5.65 \times
