Asked by Russ
                If a aircraft flie at 1000m/s east it accumulates a 50C of charge as it passes a cloud. How would I calculate magnitude of magnetic force, direction of magnetic force on plane and do the pilots have to make corrections to make up for the difference?
Thanks in advance for any help

    I forgot that the earth's magnetic field is 50 micro Tesla

    I think the formula is F = q(v*B)
so therefore I would say F= 50 C(1000*50T), correct or not??
I'm still not sure about the direction or if they have to make correctins to their controls

    You have it, correct, except for units> what happened to the micro on microTesla?

    Thank you for pointing that out-I totally forgot to put it back in
Could you direct me for the direction and if corrections have to be made by pilots-I'm not sure how to figure that out
