Problem
An electron (charge q=−1.6×10−19C) is projected with velocity v=(4i^−6j^)×106m s−1 into a uniform magnetic field B=0.20k^T.
(i) Calculate the magnitude of the magnetic force acting on the electron.
(ii) Write the force in unit-vector form, indicating its direction with respect to the coordinate axes.
