Magnetic force exerted on a single moving charged particle
Magnetic force exerted by Earth on ions in the body A hydroxide ion (OH-) in a glass of water has an average speed of about 600 m/s. (a) Determine the electrical force between the hydroxide ion (charge –e) and a positive ion (charge +e) that is 1.0 x 10-8 m away (about the separation of 30 atoms). (b) Determine the maximum magnetic force that Earth’s 3.0 x 10-5-T magnetic field can exert on the ion. (c) On the basis of these two calculations, does it seem likely that Earth’s magnetic field has much effect on the biochemistry of the body?
