Consult Interactive Solution 21.23 to review a model for solving this problem. A proton with a speed of 3.1 times 106 m/s is shot into a region between two plates that are separated by a distance of 0.25 m. As the drawing shows, a magnetic field exists between the plates, and it is perpendicular to the velocity of the proton. What must be the magnitude of the magnetic field, so the proton just misses colliding with the opposite plate?

Explanation / Answer

r=mv/qB

=>B=mv/qr =(1.67*10^-27)*(3.1*10^6)/(1.6*10^-19)*0.25

B=0.1294 T
