At a given moment the particle is moving in the x direction (and the magnetic field is always in the z direction). If q is positive, what is the direction of the force on the particle due to the magnetic field?

Respuesta :

Answer:

(-y)-direction.

Explanation:

The force created by the magnetic field on a moving object is

[tex]\vec{F}_B = q\vec{v} \times \vec{B}[/tex]

So the directions are

[tex]\vec{F}_B = \^x \times \^z = -\^y[/tex]

The direction can also be found by the right-hand rule.

Point your index finger in the direction of velocity. Point your middle finger in the direction of magnetic field. Your thumb will point towards the direction of the force.

The direction of the force on the particle due to the magnetic field is in the (-ve) y-direction. The magnetic field is a type of field where the magnetic force is obtained.

What is a magnetic field?

It is the type of field where the magnetic force is obtained. With the usefulness of a magnetic field, the magnetic force is received. It is the field felt around a moving electric charge.

The magnetic field is in its vector form is given by;

[tex]\rm \vec F_B= q \vec v \times \vec B[/tex]

The direction in the vector is found by;

[tex]\rm \vec F_B= \hat x \times \vec z= - \hat y[/tex]

Hold a current-carrying conductor in your right hand with your thumb pointing in the direction of the current.

Then wrap your fingers around the conductor and orient them in the direction of the magnetic field lines. This is the thumb rule for the right hand.

Hence the direction of the force on the particle due to the magnetic field is in the (-ve) y-direction.
