Two charged particles move at right angles to a magnetic field and deflect in opposite directions. Can one conclude that the particles have opposite charges? An electron moves with constant velocity through a region of space that is free of magnetic fields. Can one conclude that the electric field is zero in this region? Explain. An electron moves with constant velocity through a region of space that is free of electric fields. Can one conclude that the magnetic field is zero in this region? Explain. An electron moves west to east in the continental United States. What is the direction of the magnetic force exerted on the electron by the Earths magnetic field? Proton 1 moves with a speed v from the east coast to the west coast in the continental United States; proton 2 moves with the same speed from the southern United States toward Canada. Is the magnetic force experienced by proton 2 greater than, equal to, or less than the force experienced by proton 1? Explain. At a point near the equator, the Earths magnetic field is horizontal and points to the north. If an electron is moving vertically upward at this point, what is the direction of the magnetic force acting on it? Consider the paths of particles 1 and 2 in Figure 2231. If these particles have the same charge and mass, which is moving more rapidly?

Referring to Figure 2231, give the sign of the charge for particles that move along paths 1, 2, and 3. The particles in Figure Figure 2231 have the same mass and speed. List the particles in order of increasing magnitude of charge. A proton is to orbit the Earth at the equator using the Earths magnetic field to supply part of the necessary centripetal force. Should the proton move eastward or westward? An electron moving in the positive x direction, at right angles to a magnetic field, experiences a magnetic force in the positive y direction. What is the direction of the magnetic field? Describe how the motion of a charged particle can be used to distinguish between an electric and a magnetic field. Explain how a charged particle moving in a circle of small radius can take the same amount of time to complete an orbit as an identical particle orbiting in a circle of large radius. A velocity selector is to be constructed using a magnetic field in the positive y direction. If charged particles move through the selector in the positive z direction, what must be the direction of the electric field? Does your answer depend on the sign of the charge on the particles? Explain. The photograph (p. 743) shows an electron beam whose initial direction of motion is horizontal (to the left in the plane of the page). A magnetic field deflects the beam downward. What is the direction of the magnetic field?
