Question:

Magnetic Forces and Magnetic Fields?

0 LIKES UnLike

When a charged particle moves at an angle of 25 degrees with respect to a magnetic field, it experiences a magnetic force of magnitude F. At what angle (less than 90 degrees) with respect to this field will this particle, moving at the same speed, experience a magnetic force of magnitude 2F?

  1. sin(25) = (1/2)*sin(unknown)

    about 58 degrees?

    Check my work!


  2. F = q v B sin(θ1)

    F = q v B sin(25) =====>1

    q is the charge of the particle

    v is velocity

    B is the magnitude of the magnetic field

    in your question q is constant as it's the same particle in the 2 statements

    v is constant "moving at the same speed"

    B is also constant as it's the same magnetic field

    that mean that any change will be only in the angle

    So the second statement will be

    2F=q v B sin(θ2) =====> 2

    F = q v B sin(25) =====>1

    divide 2 by 1

    2 = sin(θ2) \ sin(25)

    sin(θ2) = 2 sin(25) = 0,8452365235

    Using calculator

    θ2 = 57° 41'  50,23''

    approximately

    θ2 = 58°
