Physics

  • Based on your experimental observations, data, graphs, andconclusions discuss the behavior of a charged particle in amagnetic field. Be sure to use your information from each part ofthe experiment.
  • State the formula for the force on a charge in a magneticfield.
  • With the exception of compasses, you seldom see or personallyexperience forces due to the Earth’s small magnetic field. Toillustrate this, suppose that in a physics lab you rub a glass rodwith silk, placing a 20-nC positive charge on it. Calculate theforce on the rod due to the Earth’s magnetic field, if you throw itwith a horizontal velocity of 10 m/s due west in a place where theEarth’s field is due north parallel to the ground
  • If a charged particle moves in a straight line through someregion of space, can you say that the magnetic field in that regionis necessarily zero? Explain your answer.
  • A cosmic ray proton moving toward the Earth at 5.00 × 107experiences a magnetic force of 1.70 × 10−16 N. What is thestrength of the magnetic field if there is a 45º angle between itand the proton’s velocity? Is this value consistent with the knownstrength of the Earth’s magnetic field on its surface?Discuss.
