A 10(mu)C charge moves with a velocity of 1.0 x 105 ms-1 at right angle to a uniform magnetic field of flux density 5.0 x 10-4T. Calculate the force on the charge
-
A.
5.0 x 10-5N -
B.
5.0 x 10-4N -
C.
5.0 x 105N -
D.
5.0 x 106N
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation
F = qvB
= 10 x 10-6 x 1.0 x 105 x 10-4
= 5.0 x 10-4N
