question has some giant errors that you may be familiar with. It turns out magnetic fields CANNOT do work. Ever. 0. Zilch. There are some complicated reasons for this, but try to use Faraday's law as an example. The magnetic field induces an EMF, which causes a current. How might that current be used to explain what's doing the work in an electromagnetic situation?
2. As a reminder, the Lorentz Force for magnetic fields is defined as: FB = quBsino (1) Where q is the charge, v is the speed, B is the magnetic field, and is the angle between the particle and the magnetic field. Calculate the work done on an electron by a 2 Tesla magnetic field at an angle of 30 degrees over a 2 meter path. Assume the electron is traveling at the speed of light. 3. The previous
