To calculate the magnitude of the force required to move a proton in a magnetic field, you can use the formula for the magnetic force on a charged particle:
F = qvB
Where:
F = magnetic force (in newtons)
q = charge of the particle (proton charge is 1.6 * 10^-19 C)
v = velocity of the particle (5 m/s)
B = magnetic field strength (6 * 10^3 T)
Now, plug in the values:
F = (1.6 * 10^-19 C) * (5 m/s) * (6 * 10^3 T)
F = 48 * 10^-19 N
Therefore, the magnitude of the force required to move a proton in a 6 * 10^3 T magnetic field at 5 m/s is 48 * 10^-19 N.
Calculate the magnitude of a force required to move a proton in a 6 * 10 ^ 3 * T magnetic field at 5m / s
