Question

A long, straight wire lies on a horizontal table and carries a current of 2.20 µA. In a vacuum, a proton moves parallel to the wire (opposite the current) with a constant speed of 2.20 10⁴ m/s at a distance d above the wire. Ignoring the magnetic field due to the Earth, determine the value of d.

Expert Solution

Step 1

Given:

Current in the wire =2.20 $μ A = 2.2 \times 10^{- 6} C$

$S p e e d o f p r o t o n (v) = 2.2 \times 10^{4} m / s$

$C h a r g e o f a p r o t o n = + 1.6 \times 10^{- 19} C M a s s o f a p r o t o n = 1.67 \times 10^{- 27} k g$

To find:

Distance between the wire and proton(d)
