Aircraft sometimes acquire small static charges. suppose a supersonic jet has a 0.650 µc charge and flies due west at a speed of 540 m/s over the earth's south magnetic pole, where the 8.00 ✕ 10−5 t magnetic field points straight up. what are the magnitude (in n) and direction of the magnetic force on the plane?

Answer :

Explanation :

It is given that,

Charge,

Velocity of Aircraft,  (in west)

Magnetic field, ( in north )

Using the relation as :

Magnetic force is ,

Using Right hand thumb rule, the direction of force is in the plane perpendicular to the velocity and the magnetic field i.e. .

i just did an experiment like this in my science class. also the answer is yes, it will get separated because they are two opposites meaning if they are opposite they can not attract.

hope this .!
