 Title: Charge in a uniform magnetic field in 3D Post by: ahmedelshfie on June 10, 2010, 12:35:30 am This following applet is Charge in a uniform magnetic field in 3DCreated by prof Hwang Modified by AhmedOriginal project Charge in a uniform magnetic field in 3D (http://www.phy.ntnu.edu.tw/ntnujava/index.php?topic=1450msg5484;topicseen#msg5484)$\vec{F}=q\vec{v}\times\vec{B}$.The following show a charged particle trapped bwtween two uniform field.You can use sliders to change the width and the separation between two sets of magnet.The magnetic field is assumed to be uniform Bz\hat{z} inside the magnet region. and the field is zero when outside the boundary.You can change the location and velocity of the charged particle with mouse drag and drop or with sliders.

(Bagno & Eylon, 1997)the analysis are:a. Recitation of formula: field applies force, and force causes acceleration according to Newton’s second law of motion 40% of 46% who got it wrongb. Blind substitution into formula 37c. No reason 23Using this applet, you can see the velocity does not change. A constant magnetic field never changes the speed magnitude of velocity of a charged particle which moves in it.the answer is (true)Bagno, E., & Eylon, B.-S. (1997).

Recitation of formula: v, B and F are always perpendicular according to left hand or right screw law 81b. No reason 19
