1.	It is established that an electric current through a conductor produces a magnetic field arount it . Is there a similar magnetic field produced around a thin beam of movingi] Alpha particles ?ii] Neutrons ? Justify your answer .
Answer» Solution :i] Yes. Since alpha PARTICLES,are POSITIVELY charged a thin beam of MOVING alpha particles acts like a current-carryingstraight conductor and PRODUCES a magnetic field aroundits path. II] No, as neutrons carry no charge, no magneticfield would be produced around their path.
