22.10

A 6.60 uC particle moves through a region of space where an electric field of magnitude 1200 N/C points in the positive x direction and a magnetic field of magnitude 1.02T points in the positive z direction.

If the net force acting on the particle is 6.21x10^-3 N, in the positive x direction, find the components of the particle's velocity. Assume the particle's velocity is the x-y plane.

vx , vy , vz =

I just know we use the formulas:

F =qE
F=qvB

I can't figure how to get the velocities for the 3 components...

  1. Since the electric force is greater than net force (while both point to the right), the magnetic force must be to the left. The charge is positive, magnetic field B out paper, so the velocity points downward (negative y). The v of other components are zero
