Moving Charges And Magnetism

Question

Wired Faculty App

A certain proton moving through a magnetic field region experiences maximum force. When does this occur?

Solution

The force experienced by a particle is maximum when, proton moves perpendicular to the magnetic field.

\vec{v} \times \vec{B}

is maximum(

θ = 90 ° .

)

That is, velocity component is perpendicular to magnetic field.

Two moving coil meters, M₁ and M₂ have the following particulars:
R₁ = 10 Ω N₁ = 30,
A₁ = 3.6 x 10^–3 m², B₁ = 0.25 T
R₂ = 14 Ω; N₂ = 42,
A₂ = 1.8 x 10^–3 m², B₂ = 0.50 T
(The spring constants k are identical for the two meters).
Determine the ratio of (a) current sensitivity and (b) voltage sensitivity of M₂ and M_1.

Answer the following questions:
A charged particle enters an environment of a strong and non-uniform magnetic field varying from point to point both in magnitude and direction, and comes out of it following a complicated trajectory. Would its final speed equal the initial speed if it suffered no collisions with the environment?
