A charge of moves at perpendicular to a magnetic field of . What is the magnetic force on it (in N)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: C. 1000

  1. Step 1: Identify the magnetic Lorentz parameters: charge magnitude , velocity , and magnetic flux density .
  2. Step 2: Because motion is perpendicular to the field (), the magnetic force formula simplifies to .
  3. Step 3: Substitute the quantities: .
