Magnetic fields, B - Features - Force - Sources
A proton (q=+e) is released from rest in a uniform E and uniform B. E points up, B points into the page. Which of the paths will the proton initially follow? C D A B E. It will remain stationary (To think about: what happens after longer times?)
A proton (speed v) enters a region of uniform B. v makes an angle with B. What is the subsequent path of the proton? 5.3 A) Helical B) Straight line C) Circular motion, page. (plane of circle is B) D) Circular motion page. (plane of circle at angle w.r.t. B) E) Impossible. v should always be B
5.4 A wire loop in a B field has a current I. The B-field is localized, it s only in the hatched region, roughly zero elsewhere. Which way is I flowing to hold the mass in place? B (into page, uniform) L A)CW B) CCW C) You cannot levitate like this! I m
5.4 A wire loop in a B field has a current I. The mass is "levitated" by the magnetic force Fmag=ILB. If you increase the current , does the magnetic force do positive work on the mass? B (into page, uniform) A)Yes B) No L I m
