B
Q2:
An proton with a velocity of v = − 3.0 × 105 ı̂ (m/s) enters a region of space where
there is a magnetic field given by B = − 5.0 × 10 − 4 ȷ̂ (T). What is the frequency
of revolution of the proton? (Give the answer in three significant figures and SI units)

Q3:
A long straight wire carries a 6.0-A current that is directed in the positive x direction.
When a uniform magnetic field is applied perpendicular to a 3.0-m segment of the
wire, the magnetic force on the segment is 0.36 N, directed in the negative y direction.
What is the magnetic field? (Give the answer in three significant figures and SI units)
