Question
Electrons and protons travel from the Sun to the Earth at a typical velocity of 3.83 ✕ 105 m/s in the positive x-direction. Thousands of miles from Earth, they interact with Earth’s magnetic field of magnitude 3.04 ✕ 10−8 T in the positive z-direction. Find the magnitude and direction of the magnetic force on a proton. Find the magnitude and direction of the magnetic force on an electron.
