1. QuestionMultiple choice

What force acts on a moving charge in a magnetic field?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is The magnetic part of the Lorentz force.

  1. Identify the electrical or magnetic system: Determine the charge, current, voltage, field, circuit connection, or force described in the question.
  2. Apply the governing relationship: The magnetic force is (\vec F=q\vec v\times\vec B), so it acts on moving charges and depends on charge sign.
  3. Check signs, units, and direction: The correct answer is The magnetic part of the Lorentz force.

The magnetic force is (\vec F=q\vec v\times\vec B), so it acts on moving charges and depends on charge sign.

2. QuestionMultiple choice

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is When velocity is perpendicular to the magnetic field.

  1. Identify the electrical or magnetic system: Determine the charge, current, voltage, field, circuit connection, or force described in the question.
  2. Apply the governing relationship: The magnitude is (F=|q|vB\sin\theta), which is maximum at (90^\circ).
  3. Check signs, units, and direction: The correct answer is When velocity is perpendicular to the magnetic field.
