An electron is traveling at a velocity of 500m/s perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field. A force of magnitude 4.32 x10^(-16) N is acting on the electron, what is the magnetic flux density of the field?

F=BQv so B=F/Qv (Q is the charge of an electron, 1.6 x10-19 C) so B=4.32 x10-16 / (1.6 x10-19 x 500) = 5.4 T

2 identical trolleys of mass M(one is loaded with 2 blocks of mass m) are on a ramp inclined at 35° and are connected by a wire that passes around a pulley at the top of the ramp. They are released and accelerate accordingly. Show that a=(mgsin35°)/(M+m).


A mass, m, is resting on a slope being slowly tilted upwards from horizontal. The static friction co-efficient is 0.3 and the dynamic friction co-efficient is 0.2: at what angle will the mass begin to slip?
