An electron is accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 500 V. It then enters a uniform magnetic field of 0.54 T that points out of the page and is perpendicular to the direction of motion of the electron. Assume the electron is moving in the -x direction. Required:
a. What is the magnetic force (magnitude and direction) that acts on the electron?
b. What is the radius of the path the electron follows in the magnetic field?
c. Would the radius of the electron's path be smaller or larger if the charge of the electron were smaller?

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh

where… mass: measured in kilograms (kg)

gravity: gravity constant on earth = 10.00 m/s2

height: measured in meters (m)

gpe: measured in joules (j) or kilojoules (kj)

how do you solve gpe?

gravitational potential energy (gpe) is the energy an object has because of its position above the. ground.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh.

given values:

mass = 0.3 kg.

distance = 150m

displ = root (50 ^2 + 100^2)

root(2500+10000)

root 125000
