Question

a. Two particles are given identical charges.  The force of electrostatic repulsion between them is 4.1 x 10-12 N when they are separated by a distance of 3.0 cm.  Find the charges.

b. An alpha particle has a charge of +3.2 x 10-19 C and mass 6.64 x 10-27 kg.  The particle is moving perpendicular to a magnetic field at a velocity of 2.5 x 106 m/s to the left.  The particle experiences a force of 3.0 x 10-13 N out of the page.  What is the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field?

c. Using monochromatic light, an interference pattern is generated on a screen 50.0 cm away from a single slit. The width of the slit is 12 μm.  The third dark fringe is 6.0 cm from the centre of the central maximum. What is the wavelength of the light used in nanometres?
