The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to calculate the maximum electric and magnetic forces on a charge \( q = 2e \) moving along the y-axis with a speed of \( 3 \times 10^7 \, \text{m/s} \). Here, \( e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{C} \). ### Step 1: Calculate the Maximum Electric Force The electric field is given by: \[ E_y = 600 \, \text{V/m} \cdot \sin(\omega(t - \frac{x}{c})) \] The maximum electric field \( E_{\text{max}} \) is \( 600 \, \text{V/m} \). The electric force \( F_E \) on a charge \( q \) is given by: \[ F_E = qE \] Substituting \( q = 2e = 2 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{C} \): \[ F_E = (2 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}) \times 600 \] Calculating this: \[ F_E = 3.2 \times 10^{-19} \times 600 = 1.92 \times 10^{-16} \, \text{N} \] ### Step 2: Calculate the Magnetic Field The magnetic field \( B \) can be calculated using the relationship between the electric field \( E \) and the speed of light \( c \): \[ B = \frac{E}{c} \] Where \( c = 3 \times 10^8 \, \text{m/s} \). Thus, \[ B = \frac{600}{3 \times 10^8} = 2 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{T} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the Magnetic Force The magnetic force \( F_B \) on a charge moving with velocity \( v \) in a magnetic field \( B \) is given by: \[ F_B = qvB \sin(\theta) \] Since the charge is moving along the y-axis and the magnetic field is perpendicular to this direction, \( \theta = 90^\circ \) and \( \sin(90^\circ) = 1 \): \[ F_B = qvB \] Substituting the values: \[ F_B = (2 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}) \times (3 \times 10^7) \times (2 \times 10^{-6}) \] Calculating this: \[ F_B = (3.2 \times 10^{-19}) \times (3 \times 10^7) \times (2 \times 10^{-6}) \] \[ F_B = 3.2 \times 3 \times 2 \times 10^{-19} \times 10^1 = 19.2 \times 10^{-18} = 1.92 \times 10^{-17} \, \text{N} \] ### Summary of Results - Maximum Electric Force \( F_E = 1.92 \times 10^{-16} \, \text{N} \) - Maximum Magnetic Force \( F_B = 1.92 \times 10^{-17} \, \text{N} \) ---

To solve the problem, we need to calculate the maximum electric and magnetic forces on a charge \( q = 2e \) moving along the y-axis with a speed of \( 3 \times 10^7 \, \text{m/s} \). Here, \( e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{C} \). ### Step 1: Calculate the Maximum Electric Force The electric field is given by: \[ E_y = 600 \, \text{V/m} \cdot \sin(\omega(t - \frac{x}{c})) ...
