Question

A proton is initially moving west at a speed of 1.11 10⁶ m/s in a uniform magnetic field of magnitude 0.298 T directed vertically upward. Describe in detail the proton's trajectory, including its shape and orientation.

the radius of the path
the proton's trajectory

Expert Solution

Step 1

Given data:

The speed of the proton moving west is $u = 1.11 \times 10^{6} m / s$
The magnetic field is $T = 0.298 T$

The expression for the radius of the path is shown below:

$R = \frac{m u}{B q}$

Where, the charge of the proton is $q = 1.6 \times 10^{- 19} C$ , and the mass of the proton is $m = 1.67 \times 10^{- 27} k g$
