M4: Quiz 1
If you were to cut a small permanent bar magnet in half,
each piece would in itself be a smaller bar magnet with both north and south poles.
Which one of the following statements is correct?
The north pole of a magnet points towards Earth's geographic north pole.
A charged particle that is moving in a static uniform magnetic field
may experience a magnetic force, but its speed will not change.
An electron moving along the +x-axis enters a magnetic field. If the electron
experiences a magnetic deflection in the -y direction, then the magnetic field must
have a component
along the -z-axis
We have an expert-written solution to this problem!
An electron is moving to the right, as shown in the figure. Suddenly it encounters
uniform magnetic field pointing out of the page. Which one of the three paths shown
will it follow in the field?
path a
Three particles travel through a region of space where the magnetic field is out of the
page, as shown in the figure. What are the signs of the charges of these three
particles?
1 is negative, 2 is neutral, and 3 is positive.
We observe that a moving charged particle experiences no magnetic force. From
this we can definitely conclude that
either no magnetic field exists or the particle is moving parallel to the field.
A negatively-charged particle moves across a constant uniform magnetic field that is
perpendicular to the velocity of the particle. The magnetic force on this particle
causes the particle to accelerate.
We have an expert-written solution to this problem!
An electron moves with a speed of 5.0 × 10⁴ m/s perpendicular to a uniform
magnetic field of magnitude 0.20 T. What is the magnitude of the magnetic force on
the electron? (e = 1.60 × 10⁻¹⁹ C)
1.6 × 10⁻¹⁵ N
