Motion of a Charged Particle in a Magnetic Field
If a charged particle is
moving perpendicular to a
uniform magnetic field, its
path will be a circle.

Motion of a Charged Particle in a Magnetic Field
What is the velocity of a beam of electrons
that go undeflected when passing through
perpendicular electric and magnetic fields of
magnitude 8.8 x 103 V/m and 3.5 x 10-3 T,
respectively? What is the radius of the electron orbit if
the electric field is turned off?
me = 9.1 x 10-31kg
qe = 1.6 x 10-19C
v
undeflected means B and E are equal and opposite
F = Eq
F = qvB
mv2/r = qvB
Eq = qvB
r = mv/qB
E/B = v

Magnetism
The diagram below shows an electron, e, located in a
magnetic field. There is no magnetic force on the
electron when it moves
(A) toward the right side of the screen
(B) toward the top of the screen
(C) into the screen
(D) out of the screen

Magnetism
A vertical wire carries a current straight down. To
the east of this wire, the magnetic field points
(A) north.
(B) east.
(C) south.
(D) down.
