At time t = 0, an electron with kinetic energy 12keV moves through x = 0 in
Question:
At time t = 0, an electron with kinetic energy 12keV moves through x = 0 in the positive direction of an x axis that is parallel to the horizontal component of Earth's magnetic field B. The field's vertical component is downward and has magnitude 55.0μT.
(a) What is the magnitude of the electron's acceleration due to B?
(b) What is the electron's distance from the x axis when the electron reaches coordinate x = 20 cm?

A magnetic field is a vector field that describes the magnetic influence on moving electric charges, electric currents, and magnetic materials. A moving charge in a magnetic field experiences a force perpendicular to its own velocity and to the magnetic field. The video shows the practical implications of magnetic force around different objects.
