Homework Statement
2 A particle with charge 94.5 nC is moving in a region where there is a uniform magnetic field of 0.450 T in the positive x-direction. At a particular instant of time, the velocity of the particle has components:
vx = - 1.68 x 104 ms-1, vy = - 3.11 x 104 ms-1 and vz = 5.85 x 104 ms-1.
What are the components of the force on the particle at this time?
Homework Equations
F=qvBsin(theta)
The Attempt at a Solution
1st how do i get Greek letters into a post?
Fx=qvBsin0 = 0N
Fy=94.5*10-9*-3.11*104*.45sin90 = -1.322*10-3N
Fz=94.5*10-9*5.85*104*.45sin90 = 2.49*10-3N
The reason I am posting this is because it seemed way to easy so I think I may have totally missed/screwed something up?
Thanks for any help.
