An alpha-particle moves with a speed of \( (5 \times 10^5 \hat{i}) \text{ m s}^{-1} \).
It enters a region where there is a magnetic field of magnitude 4 T,
directed at an angle of 45° to the X-axis and lying in the XY-plane.
The magnitude of magnetic force on the alpha-particle is:

  1. A \( 1.6 \times 10^{-14} \text{ N} \)
  2. B \( 3.2 \times 10^{-13} \text{ N} \)
  3. C \( 4.5 \times 10^{-13} \text{ N} \)
  4. D \( 1.6 \times 10^{-13} \text{ N} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \( 4.5 \times 10^{-13} \text{ N} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( F = q v B \sin \theta \) \( F = (2 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \text{ C}) (5 \times 10^5 \text{ m s}^{-1}) (4 \text{ T}) \sin 45^\circ \) \( F = (3.2 \times 10^{-19}) (5 \times 10^5) (4) \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \text{ N} \)…
