Question

Now suppose there is a positively charged particle moving as shown in each diagram. At the instant shown it is at point A. Side view Top view (cross-sectional view) of charged particle of charged particle near near current-carrying wire current-carrying wire i out of page O c j into page 8 k zero Question 3. What is the direction of the magnetic force exerted on the positively charged particle in the side-view diagram and in the top-view diagram? Select your answer from the figure at right above Direction of magnetic force in side view diagram Direction of magnetic force in top view diagram

Explanation / Answer

Question 3:

In the side view diagram, magnetic force is exerted on the positive charged particle in direction a.

In the top-view diagram, magnetic force is exerted on the positive charged particle in direction i, out of page.

Question 4:

We have used the Fleming's left-hand rule for motors to find the directions where index finger stands for the direction of the field, middle finger for the direction of motion of charge and thumb for the direction of force exerted.
