Question 17 • TX-Physics B
The magnetic force on a moving charge is F = |q|vB sin θ. The charge moves to the right while the field points into the screen, so they are perpendicular and sin θ = 1. Thus F = (5.0 × 10⁻⁷ C)(2.6 × 10⁵ m/s)(1.8 × 10⁻² T) = 2.34 × 10⁻³ N, which rounds to 2.3 × 10⁻³ N. The correct choice is B.
