Question

Figure a shows a loop model for an electron orbiting in an atom while in a nonuniform magnetic field Bext. In Figure b, charge -e moves counterclockwise; the associated conventional current i is clockwise. How does the magnitude of the net force on the current loop change in the following situations? (Select all that apply.)

(a) increases if the magnitude of Bext is increased

(b) decreases if the magnitude of Bext is increased

(c) remains constant if the magnitude of Bext is increased

(d) increases if the divergence of Bext is increased

(e) decreases if the divergence of Bext is increased

(f) remains constant if the divergence of Bext is increased

Explanation / Answer

ANSWERS: (a) increases if the magnitude of Bext is increased: (f) remains constant if the divergence of Bext is increased
