Question

You are building a linear particle accelerator at the equator such that the charged particles travel in a straight line parallel to the ground. In what direction should the accelerator be oriented to minimize the effect of the earth's magnetic field, that is in what direction should the particles travel so that the magnetic force is zero? Select One of the Following: The particles should travel straight upward toward outer space. The particles should travel east-west. The particles should travel north-south.

Explanation / Answer

c)

the particle should travel parallel to the direction of magnetic field along north south so that the angle between magnetic field B and speed V be 0 or 180 . hence the magnetic force be 0
