In a space laboratory, an object of mass
m = 10-3 kg and charge q = 2 x 10-5
C moves in a circular orbit of radius r = 102 m
about a fixed charge Q = -10-4 C. There is a uniform
magnetic field B = 4 N-s/C-m down into the plane of the orbit.

acting on the object of mass m, (b) the magnetic force on
the object in terms of its velocity v, (c) the direction of
the magnetic force if (i) the object moves in a clockwise
direction as you look down at the orbit and (ii) if the object
moves in the opposite direction. (d) Use Newton’s second
law of motion to determine for what velocity v the object
will move in a circle of radius 102 m. Your solution
will lead you to a quadratic equation. Your knowledge of physics
