Question: Three particles, a, b, and c, enter a magnetic field as shown in figure below. What can you say about the charge on each particle? Solution Charge a experiences an initial upward force. By the right hand rule, charge a must be positive. Charge b experiences no force, and so charge b must be uncharged. Charge c experiences an initial downward force. By the right hand rule, charge c must be negative. Problems: How much current is flowing in a wire 4.80 m long if the maximum force on it is 0.750 N when placed in a uniform 0.0800-T field? Solution The force on a wire carrying 8.75 A is a maximum of 1.28 N when placed between the pole faces of a magnet. If the pole faces are 55.5 cm in diameter, what is the approximate strength of the magnetic field? Solution The length of wire in the B-field is the same as the diameter of the pole faces. Alpha particles of charge and mass are emitted from a radioactive source at a speed of What magnetic field strength would be required to bend them into a circular path of radius Solution The magnetic force is perpendicular to the velocity. In this scenario, the magnetic force is causing centripetal motion, and so must have the form of a centripetal force. Find the direction of the force on a negative charge for each diagram shown in figure below, where (green) is the velocity of the charge and (blue) is the direction of the magnetic field. ( means the vector points inward. means it points outward, toward you.) Solution Since the charge is negative, the answer is the OPPOSITE of the result given from the right hand rule applied to the velocity and magnetic field. (a) left (b) left (c) upward (d) inward into the paper (e) no force (f) downward An electron experiences the greatest force as it travels in a magnetic field when it is moving northward. The force is upward and of magnitude What are the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field? Solution The
