Q
Q: A charged particle moves in a magnetic field. What path does it follow?
Solution:
A charged particle moving in a magnetic field experiences a force perpendicular to its velocity, resulting in circular motion.
Steps: 6
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand that a charged particle is a particle with an electric charge, like an electron or proton.
Step 2: Know that a magnetic field is an area around a magnet where magnetic forces can be felt.
Step 3: When a charged particle moves through a magnetic field, it experiences a force due to the magnetic field.
Step 4: This force acts at a right angle (perpendicular) to the direction the particle is moving.
Step 5: Because the force is always perpendicular to the velocity, it changes the direction of the particle's motion but not its speed.
Step 6: As a result, the particle moves in a circular path instead of a straight line.
