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
