Problem 10
Q

An electron is projected vertically upward with a speed of 1.70×106 m/s1.70 \times 10^6 \textrm{ m/s} into a uniform magnetic field of 0.640 T that is directed horizontally away from the observer. Describe the electron’s path in this field.

A
the electron would travel clockwise in a 15.1μm15.1 \mu\textrm{m} semicircle.
