Question

The figure shows a uniform magnetic field. The lines represent the paths taken by particles that suddenly enter a magnetic field B.

Match each path letter with the charge on each particle by using + positive, - negative, or N for neutral

to fill in the blanks

a.__________         b.___________      Answers: a. = N,           d. = -

c.___________       d.____________                    b. = N            e. = +

e.___________       f.____________                     c. = +            f. = -

Please explain the answers for me to get a better understanding I am preparing for a physics test

Explanation / Answer

a it is neutral because force on it is zero Force=q v X B=0 if q=0 or vparallel to B but here V perpendicular to B b same as A c the force will be along a circular path by right hand rule d force will be rightwards and outwards e same as c f v X B is along rightwards
