A? N
B: A piece that is just a north pole and the corresponding south-pole piece?
Notations
Electric field = E(x)
Magnetic field = B(x)
If q is negative, F is in the
opposite direction.
FB qvBsin
… where is the angle between the velocity of the charged
particle and the magnetic field.
Do you see that there is no magnetic force on a charged
particle moving parallel to the magnetic field? (Because is
zero and sin(0)=0)
Do you see when the magnetic forfce is most strong? (Max.
force is for = 90 degrees; then F = q v B)
A) negative z direction
B) positive y direction
C) positive z direction
D) negative x direction
A) positive y direction
B) positive z direction
C) the force is 0
D) negative x direction
A) positive y direction
B) the force is 0
C) negative z direction
D) negative x direction
F = q v B sin(180) = 0
