In the figure below, a charged particle moves perpendicular to a uniform B-field (in a vacuum) and the magnetic field is the dominant factor determining the motion. The particle's kinetic energy and speed remain constant, and the direction of motion and speed are unaffected. Because the magnetic force is perpendicular to the direction of travel, the charged particle follows a curved path in the magnetic field. And the particle continues to follow this curved path until it forms a complete circle. The magnetic force is perpendicular to the velocity, where the velocity changes in direction and magnitude. The magnetic force is perpendicular to the velocity and velocity changes in direction not magnitude. In this situation, where a charged particle moves perpendicular to a uniform B-field (in a vacuum), the magnetic force supplies the centripetal force Fc = mv2 r. The magnetic force is always perpendicular to velocity, and it does no work on the charged particle. A negatively charged particle moves in the plane of the paper in a region where the magnetic field is perpendicular out of the paper.

A positively charged particle of mass 8.45×10−8 kg is traveling due east with a speed of 68.4 m/s and enters a 0.320−T uniform magnetic field. The particle moves through one-quarter of a circle in a time of 2.12×10−3 s, at which time it leaves the field heading due south. All during the motion the particle moves perpendicular to the magnetic field. (a) What is the magnitude of the magnetic force acting on the particle? (b) Determine the magnitude of its charge.
