QUICK QUIZ 19.1A charged particle moves in a straight line through a certain region of space. The magnetic field in that region (a) has a magnitude of zero, (b) has a zero component perpendicular to the particle's velocity, or (c) has a zero component parallel to the particle's velocity.

QUICK QUIZ 19.1 ANSWER(b). The force that a magnetic field

exerts on a charged particle moving through it is given by F = qvB sin θ = qvB , where B is the component of the field perpendicular to the particle’s velocity. Since the particle moves in a straight line, the magnetic force (and hence B , since qv ≠ 0) must be zero.

QUICK QUIZ 19.2The north-pole end of a bar magnet is held near a stationary positively charged piece of plastic. Is the plastic (a) attracted, (b) repelled, or (c) unaffected by the magnet?

QUICK QUIZ 19.2 ANSWER

(c). The magnetic force exerted by a magnetic field on a charge is proportional to the charge’s velocity relative to the field. If the charge is stationary, as in this situation, there is no magnetic force.

QUICK QUIZ 19.3

As a charged particle moves freely in a circular path in the presence of a constant magnetic field applied perpendicular to the particle's velocity, its kinetic energy (a) remains constant, (b) increases, or (c) decreases.

QUICK QUIZ 19.3 ANSWER

(a). The magnetic force acting on the particle is always perpendicular to the velocity of the particle, and hence to the displacement the particle is undergoing. Under these conditions, the force does no work on the particle and the particle’s kinetic energy remains constant.

QUICK QUIZ 19.4Two charged particles are projected into a region in which a magnetic field is perpendicular to their velocities. After they enter the magnetic field, you can conclude that (a) the charges are deflected in opposite directions, (b) the charges continue to move in a straight line, (c) the charges move in circular paths, or (d) the charges move in circular paths but in opposite directions.

QUICK QUIZ 19.4 ANSWER

(c). Anytime the velocity of a charged particle is perpendicular to the magnetic field, it will follow a circular path. The two particles will move in opposite directions around their circular paths if their charges have opposite signs, but their charges are unknown so (d) is not an acceptable answer.
