Question

Five particles follow the paths shown in the figure as they pass through a magnetic field. The direction of the field is indicated by either dots or crosses in the figure. What can you conclude about the charge of each particle? Consider the force on the moving particle due to magnetic field.

2 5 follow the shown in the figure as they pass through a magnetic field. The direction of the field is indicated by either dots or crosses in the figure. What can you conclude the charge of each Consider the force on the moving particle due to magnetic field. positive Particle 2 is negative Particle 4 is negative article 1 is uncharged v Particle 5 is positive Particle 3 is Submit Answer Incorrect Tries 3/10 Tries

Explanation / Answer

Particle 2 is positive
Particle 4 is positive
Particle 1 is negative
Particle 5 is negative
Particle 3 is uncharged since it is not moving in a circle.

Use the right hand rule to find direction of the force. If the particle moves in direction of force, then it is positively charged, else it is negatively charged.
