"a)" 1.25 times 10^(- 13) "N"

"b)" 2.89 times 10^(- 2) "N/m"

Explanation:

"1"

"a)"

We are given two vectors, one for the velocity (vec(v)) and one for the magnetic field (vec(B)).

First, let's evaluate the magnitudes of both vectors:

Rightarrow |vec(v)| = sqrt((4.0 times 10^(6))^(2) + (6.0 times 10^(6))^(2))

Rightarrow |vec(v)| = sqrt(52,000,000,000,000)

therefore |vec(v)| = 7,211,102.551

and

Rightarrow |vec(B)| = sqrt(0.030^(2) + (- 0.15)^(2))

Rightarrow |vec(B)| = sqrt(0.0234)

therefore |vec(B)| = 0.1529705854

Then, let's find the angle between these two vectors:

Rightarrow cos(theta) = frac(vec(v) cdot vec(B))(|vec(v)| cdot |vec(B)|)

Rightarrow cos(theta) = frac((4.0 times 10^(6) times 0.030) + (6.0 times 10^(6) times (- 0.15)))(7,211,102.551 cdot 0.1529705854)

Rightarrow cos(theta) = frac(120,000 + (- 900,000))(1,103,086.5786)

Rightarrow cos(theta) = frac(- 780,000)(1,103,086.5786)

Rightarrow cos(theta) = - 0.7071067812

Rightarrow theta = 2.35619449

therefore theta = 135^(circ)

Now, let's use the formula F = q v B sin(theta); where q is the charge of the proton, v is it's velocity, and theta is the angle between the velocity and magnetic field vectors:

Rightarrow F = (1.6 times 10^(- 19)) cdot (7,211,102.551) cdot (0.1529705854) cdot sin(135^(circ))

Rightarrow F = 1.6 times 10^(- 19) cdot 1,103,086.5786 cdot 0.70710678118

Rightarrow F = 1.6 times 10^(- 19) cdot 780,000

therefore F = 1.248 times 10^(- 13)

Therefore, the force on the proton is around 1.25 times 10^(- 13) "N".

"b)"

For this question, let's use the equation frac(F)(L) = frac(mu_(0) I^(2))(2 pi d); where frac(F)(L) is the force per unit length, mu_(0) is the magnetic constant (4 pi times 10^(- 7)), I is the current, and d is the distance between the two wires:

Rightarrow frac(F)(L) = frac(4 cdot pi times 10^(- 7) cdot 17^(2))(2 cdot pi cdot 0.002)

Rightarrow frac(F)(L) = frac(2 times 10^(- 7) cdot 289)(0.002)

Rightarrow frac(F)(L) = 0.0001 cdot 289

therefore frac(F)(L) = 0.0289

Therefore, the force per unit length between the wires is 2.89 times 10^(- 2) "N/m".

a: F=0.42*10^6veck
b: F/l=0.0289

Explanation:

Let us first solve for (a)

we should know some vector properties

for this problem ,

veci xxvecj=veck

vecjxxveci=-veck
vecixxveci=0
vecjxxvecj=0

Okay Let's move on to the problem
Here it is given a magnetic field in x and y direction and also the velocity in in x and y direction

we use the relation of lorentz force
which is
F=qE+q*(vecvxxvecB)

since there is no electric field E=0
Hence F=q*(vecvxxvec B)

Where ,
q is the charge of the particle,
v is the velocity of the particle and
B is the magnetic field

Now just vector multiplication of color(red)vecv and color(red)vecB

color(red)(vecvxxvecB)=(4.0*10^6veci+6.0*10^6vecj)xx(0.030veci+0.15vecj)

Expanding the equation we get color (red)(vec vxxvecB)=(4.0*10^6*0.030)(vecixxvecj)+(6.0*10^6*0.030)(vecjxxveci)+(4.0*10^6*0.15)(vecixxvecj)+(6.0*10^6*0.15)(vecjxxvecj)

color(red)(vecvxxvecB)=0+(6.0*10^6*0.030)(-veck)+(4.0*10^6*0.15)(veck)+0

On summing up we get color(red)(vecvxxvecB)=(0.6*10^6-0.18*10^6)veck

Hence the magnetic force on the proton is given by

F=1*(0.42*10^6)veck
color(blue)(q=1 ) Since the charge of the proton is one

Hence the answer will be color(green)(F=0.42*10^6veck

Okay let's move on to (b)

Force between  two parallel current carrying wires is given by

F=(muI_1I_2l)/(2pid)
where

mu is the permeability of free space which is equal to 4pi*10^-7newton/ ampere^2

I_1 is the current in first wire
I_2 is the current in the second wire
l is the total length of the wires
d is the distance between the two wires

Then the force per unit length is given by
F/l=(mu*I_1*I_2)/(2pi*d)

substitute the values to get the answer

I_1=I_2=17A
d=2*10^-3m
color(red)(F/l)=(4pi*10^-7*17*17)/(2*pi*2*10^-3

color(red)(F/l)=17^2*10^-4
color(red)(F/l)=0.0289 N/m
