Question
![**Problem Statement:**
A proton moves with a velocity of \(\vec{v} = (5\hat{i} - 4\hat{j} + \hat{k}) \, \text{m/s}\) in a region in which the magnetic field is \(\vec{B} = (\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} - \hat{k}) \, \text{T}\). What is the magnitude of the magnetic force this particle experiences?
**Solution Explanation:**
The magnetic force \(\vec{F}\) experienced by a charged particle moving in a magnetic field is given by the equation:
\[
\vec{F} = q (\vec{v} \times \vec{B})
\]
where \(q\) is the charge of the proton, \(\vec{v}\) is the velocity vector, and \(\vec{B}\) is the magnetic field vector.
**Cross Product Calculation:**
To find \(\vec{v} \times \vec{B}\), use the determinant method:
\[
\vec{v} \times \vec{B} = \begin{vmatrix}
\hat{i} & \hat{j} & \hat{k} \\
5 & -4 & 1 \\
1 & 2 & -1 \\
\end{vmatrix}
\]
Calculate each component of the cross product:
- \(\hat{i}\) component: \((-4)(-1) - (1)(2) = 4 - 2 = 2\)
- \(\hat{j}\) component: \(-( (5)(-1) - (1)(1) ) = -(-5 - 1) = 6\)
- \(\hat{k}\) component: \((5)(2) - (-4)(1) = 10 + 4 = 14\)
Thus, \(\vec{v} \times \vec{B} = (2\hat{i} + 6\hat{j} + 14\hat{k})\).
**Magnitude of the Magnetic Force:**
The magnitude \(|\vec{F}|\) is given by:
\[
|\vec{F}| = q |\vec{v} \times \vec{B}|
\]
