Five particles follow the paths shown in the figure as they pass through a magnetic field B, which is indicated by the dots in the figure. What can you conclude about the charge of each particle?

Explanation / Answer

Particle 1 and Particle 5: positive

Particle 3: neutral

Particle 2 and 4: negative
