Question
An alpha particle (charge +2e) and an electron move in opposite directions from the same point, each with the speed of 2.80×10^5 m/s . Find the total magnetic field these charges produce at point P, which is 8.25 nm from each charge. μ0=4πx10^-7 H/m, 1nm= 10^-9 m.

Answer:
Explanation:
Magnetic field due to moving charge =
q is charge moving with velocity v and r is distance from point at which field is calculated .
For alpha particle
= 0.1316 x 10⁻³ T
For electron
= .0658 x 10⁻³ T .
Both these magnetic field will be same in direction because direction of equivalent current is same for both the particles .
Hence
Total magnetic field
= B₁ + B₂ = .1974 x 10⁻³
= 1.974 x 10⁻⁴ T .
