Question

what is the force on a stationary electron in a constantmagnetic field? Justify your answer by referring to the equationF=qvBsin. I know that the force on the electron will be zero since it isstationary, so I am assuming that I just substitute 0into the equation for velocity, but is the sinaffected? what is the force on a stationary electron in a constantmagnetic field?

Explanation / Answer

The force on any charged particle with no velocity in any magnetic feild is always zero.  Due to this equation F=qvBsin.  V would be zero..anything times zero is zero.  Sin has nothing to do with problem.  is the angle between the vector of velocity and the vector of the magnetic field.  Since there is no velocity there is no vector.  There is no .
