Question

     A duck flying due north at 59m/s passes over Atlanta, where the Earth's magnetic field is 6.8E-5 T in a direction 10 degrees below the horizontal line runningnorth and south.       If the duck has a netpositive charge of 6 E-8 C, what is the magnitude of the magneticforce acting on it? Answer in units of N.      A duck flying due north at 59m/s passes over Atlanta, where the Earth's magnetic field is 6.8E-5 T in a direction 10 degrees below the horizontal line runningnorth and south.       If the duck has a netpositive charge of 6 E-8 C, what is the magnitude of the magneticforce acting on it? Answer in units of N.

Explanation / Answer

Speed v =  59 m/s
Earth’s magnetic field B = 6.3 × 105 T
angle =  10 o positive charge q=  6 ×108 C
the magnitude of the magnetic force acting on it is F =B vq sin                                                                                = 387.27 * 10 ^ -13 N                                                                                = 3.8727 * 10 ^ -11 N                                                                                = 387.27 * 10 ^ -13 N                                                                                = 3.8727 * 10 ^ -11 N
