Problem 5.1: × 10 ( x4 z3) T. Given That e 1.6 × 10 9.1 × 10

An electron is projected into a medium with a uniform magnetic flux density of B = (xˆ4 - zˆ3) T. Given the electron's speed, charge, and mass, the initial acceleration of the electron can be calculated using the Lorentz force law to be a = (4.22 × 1018 m/s2) in the -y direction.

Problem 5.

1 An electron with a speed of 8 106 m/s is projected along the positive x-direction into a medium containing a uniform magnetic ux density 4 z 3) T. Given that e = 1.6 1019 C and the mass of an electron is B = (x me = 9.1 1031 kg, determine the initial acceleration vector of the electron (at the moment it is projected into the medium). Solution: The acceleration vector of a free particle is the net force vector divided by the particle mass. Neglecting gravity, and using Eq. (5.3), we have a= 1.6 1019 Fm e 8 106 ) (x 4 z 3) = uB = (x me me 9.1 1031 4.22 1018 (m/s2 ). = y
