![**Question:**
What is the magnitude of the magnetic force on a charged particle \((Q = 5.0 \, \mu C)\) moving with a speed of 80 km/s in the positive \(x\) direction at a point where \(B_z = 3.0 \, T\)?
**Options:**
a. 2.8 N
b. 1.6 N
c. 1.2 N
d. 2.0 N
e. 0.4 N
**Explanation:**
To solve this problem, we apply the formula for magnetic force acting on a charged particle in a magnetic field:
\[ F = Q \cdot v \cdot B \cdot \sin(\theta) \]
Where:
- \( F \) is the magnetic force.
- \( Q \) is the charge of the particle = \(5.0 \, \mu C = 5.0 \times 10^{-6} \, C\).
- \( v \) is the speed of the particle = 80 km/s = 80,000 m/s.
- \( B \) is the magnetic field = 3.0 T.
- \(\theta\) is the angle between velocity and the magnetic field direction. Here, the velocity is in the \(x\) direction and magnetic field \(B_z\) is in the \(z\) direction, so \(\theta = 90^\circ\) and \(\sin(90^\circ) = 1\).
Plugging in the values:
\[ F = 5.0 \times 10^{-6} \times 80,000 \times 3.0 \times 1 = 1.2 \, \text{N} \]
Therefore, the correct answer is **c. 1.2 N**.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F93d9f4fa-0622-4417-979d-12a19703a696%2Ffe3bd157-fa1c-4411-aa24-5defc46e9a1c%2F9qdr7rl_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
