Questions:

1) A electron enters a magnetic field with a strength of 0.5 T. The electron is travelling at 8 × 10⁵ m/s at an angle of 24° to the magnetic field. Calculate the force experienced by the electron:

2) Determine the direction that the force acts on each of the particles below as they enter the magnetic field:

a) Positive charge moving into the page:

b) Negative charge moving to the left:

3) A positively charged particle with a mass of 2 × 10⁻²⁵ kg, carrying a charge of 1.2 × 10⁻¹⁶ C travelling at 4.2 × 10⁵ m/s enters a magnetic field of 0.005 T. What is the radius of its path?

4) Electrons are accelerated over a distance of 25cm by a potential difference of 25kV across a pair of parallel plates before entering a magnetic field with a strength of 0.15 T. (q_e = -1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C and m_e = 9.109 × 10⁻³¹ kg)
