Problem 5.1 A particle of charge q enters a region of uniform magnetic field B (pointing intoge). The field deflects the particle a distance d above the original line of flight, as shownin Fig. 5.8. Is the charge positive or negative? In terms of a, d, B and q, find the momentumof the particle. |
|
Answer» The direction of motion of the particle and the direction of the magnetic field are known. Therefore, we can find the direction of the magnetic force acting on a positive and negative charge using Lorent's law. |
