Consider free protons following a circular path in a uniform magnetic field with a radius of 1m. At t =0s, the magnitude of the uniform magnetic field begins to increase at 0.001 T/s
. Find the tangential acceleration of the protons .
1 answer
Tangental accelertation? the magnet field put a force on the electron perpendicular to the electron path. So If I am understanding the question correctly, the tangential acceleration is zero, as the tangential velocity is not changing.
