An electron that has a velocity with x component 2.6 × 106 m/s and y component 2.4 × 106 m/s moves through a uniform magnetic field with x component 0.029 T and y component -0.14 T. (a) Find the magnitude of the magnetic force on the electron. (b) Repeat your calculation for a proton having the same velocity.

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

a.We have to find the magnitude of the magnetic force on the electron.

Charge on an electron,q=

Force act along positive z- direction.

b.Charge on proton=
