Direction of magnetic force is
“sideways”
force is perpendicular
to both v and B
use “right-hand rule”
to find direction
F = q v B sinq

v= /2Vm/q /B
Velocity Selector
Consider a positively charged ion entering a
region where the electric and magnetic fields
are uniform and perpendicular to each other.

F = qvB
For the electric force?
direction
magnitude
down
F = qE
Sum of the forces on the particle?
v=E/B
Zero (not accelerating)
|FE| = |FB| qE = qvB
B
Ratio of charge to mass for an electron
e– “gun”
An electron is accelerated from rest across a
potential difference and then enters a region of
uniform magnetic field, as shown at right. What is
the “charge to mass ratio”, q/m, of the electron?
