Study Notes
Magnetic Field and Moving Charge
- The magnetic field and the velocity of a moving charge are related, with the force experienced by the charge depending on both factors.
Force Direction
- A positively charged particle moving in a magnetic field will experience a force acting in a direction perpendicular to both its velocity and the magnetic field.
Path of a Charged Particle
- When a charged particle enters a uniform magnetic field, its path will be affected, with the force exerted by the magnetic field causing the particle to change direction.
Key Characteristics
- The force experienced by a charged particle moving in a magnetic field is always perpendicular to both its velocity and the magnetic field.
- The force experienced by a charged particle moving in a magnetic field can be zero, depending on the orientation of the velocity and magnetic field.
- The magnetic force on a moving charge is not dependent on the charge's speed.
