Course Contents ...Assignment 5 Solar Wind Timer Motes Evaluate eedbackrintnto Solar Wind ue in 13 hours, 27 minutes The solar wind is s thin, hot gas given off by the sun. Charged particles in this gas enter the magnetic field of the earth and can experience a magnetic force Suppose a charged particle traveling with a speed of 8.81t+6 mý's encounters the earth's magnetic field at an altitude where the field has a magnitude of 1.07E-7 T electron. sua the particle's velocity is perpendiculer to the magnetic field, calculate the radius of the circular path on which the particle would move if it were an Subenin Answer Tries 0/10 Send Feedback Post Discussion

Explanation / Answer

Bqv = mv^2/r
For electron:
r = mv/Bq = v / [B(q/m)] =8.81e+6/ (1.07e-7*1.76e+11)
=8.81e+6/1.882e+4 = 468.119 m
