  • Ampere

Define the force acting on a charged particle moving in a magnetic field?

The force acting on a charged particle moving in a magnetic field is called the magnetic force. This force, also known as the Lorentz force, is perpendicular to both the direction of the magnetic field and the velocity of the charged particle.

What is the nature of the magnetic force acting on a charged particle?

The magnetic force acting on a charged particle is a deflecting force, meaning it does not change the particle's speed but alters its direction of motion.

Study Notes

Magnetic Force on a Moving Charge in a Uniform Magnetic Field

  • Moving charges create magnetic fields
  • When a charged particle enters a magnetic field, the fields interact
  • Two fields attract on one side of the charge, and repel on the other side
  • This results in a net stronger / weaker field
  • Magnetic force acts on a charged particle from a stronger field to a weaker field
  • The particle deflects perpendicular to both the magnetic field (B) and the velocity (v)
  • A charged particle must be moving to experience a magnetic force
  • There must be a component of velocity perpendicular to the field direction
  • The magnetic force (FB) is proportional to the charge (q), the magnitude of the magnetic field (B), and the component of the velocity (v) perpendicular to the magnetic field
    • FB = qvB sin θ
    • θ is the angle between v and B
  • Maximum force occurs when v and B are perpendicular (θ = 90°)
  • FB = qvB

Motion of a Charged Particle in a Uniform Magnetic Field

  • If the velocity is perpendicular to the field, the charge moves in a circular path
  • If the velocity is parallel or antiparallel to the field, there is no force acting
  • If the velocity is at an angle other than 0°, 90°, or 180°, the charge moves in a helical path
  • The helical path has components in both the direction of the magnetic field (B) and the velocity (v)
