The electrons in the beam of a television tube have a kinetic energy of 2.40 10-15J.

Question:

The electrons in the beam of a television tube have a kinetic energy of 2.40 × 10-15J. Initially, the electrons move horizontally from west to east. The vertical component of the earth’s magnetic field points down, toward the surface of the earth, and has a magnitude of 2.00 × 10-5 T.

(a) In what direction are the electrons deflected by this field component?

(b) What is the acceleration of an electron in part (a)?
