Question 39

Multiple Choice

A proton moving eastward with a velocity of 5.0 km/s5.0 \mathrm {~km} / \mathrm { s } enters a magnetic field of 0.20 T0.20 \mathrm {~T} pointing northward. What are the magnitude and direction of the force that the magnetic field exerts on the proton? (e=1.60×1019C) \left( e = 1.60 \times 10 ^ { - 19 } \mathrm { C } \right)


A) 1.6×1016 N1.6 \times 10 ^ { - 16 } \mathrm {~N} upwards
B) 4.4×1016 N4.4 \times 10 ^ { - 16 } \mathrm {~N} westwards
C) 0 N0 \mathrm {~N}
D) 1.6×1016 N1.6 \times 10 ^ { - 16 } \mathrm {~N} downwards
E) 1.1×1016 N1.1 \times 10 ^ { - 16 } \mathrm {~N} eastwards
