Questions and Answers

At any location, the direction of the magnetic field B is the direction in which:

  • The south pole of a compass needle points
  • The magnetic field lines inside the magnet point towards
  • The magnetic field lines outside the magnet point towards
  • The north pole of a compass needle points (correct)

What symbol has historically been used to represent a magnetic field?

  • M
  • B (correct)
  • S
  • C

How can magnetic field lines of a bar magnet be traced according to the text?

  • By heating the bar magnet and observing the pattern
  • By observing the color changes on the bar magnet
  • By using a magnifying glass on the bar magnet
  • By means of drawings with magnetic field lines (correct)

According to the right-hand rule in Figure 28.5a, how can the direction of the cross product $\vec{v} \times \vec{B}$ be determined?

<p>Point the four fingers of your right hand along the direction of $\vec{v}$, with the palm facing $\vec{B}$, and curl them toward $\vec{B}$. Your extended thumb points in the direction of $\vec{v} \times \vec{B}$. (B)</p> Signup and view all the answers
