Physics · L3 · Tracing the Magnetic Force on a Moving Charge

Sign in to clone

From a charge's velocity and its angle to the field, through to whether a magnetic force exists and where it leads.

⚛️ Charged particle moving in a magnetic fieldIs v perpendicular, parallel, or at an angle to B?Parallel — θ = 0°Some angle — 0° < θ < 90°Perpendicular — θ = 90°sinθ = 0 → No magnetic forcePartial force: F = qvB sinθ🧲 Maximum force: F = qvB🌀 Force curves the path into a circle
