Force on Moving Charges & Right Hand Rule Video Lessons

Concept

# Problem: A particle with a charge of -5.60 nC is moving on a uniform magnetic field B = - (1.28 T)k. The magnetic force on the particle is measure to be F = -(3.20x10-7 N)I + (7.60x10-7 N)j.part A. Are there components of the velocity that cannot be determined by measuring force.part B. calcaluate the x component of the velocity of the partcile ( 3sig figs)part C. calcualte the y component of the velocity of the paricle ( 3sig Figs)part D. what is the angle between V and F give your answers in degrees ( 3sig figs)
