Chapter 4: Q4DQ (page 811)

The magnetic force on a moving charged particle is always perpendicular to the magnetic fieldB鈫�. Is the trajectory of a moving charged particle always perpendicular to the magnetic field lines? Explain your reasoning.

Short Answer

Expert verified

No, the trajectory of a moving charged particle always perpendicular to the magnetic field lines.

Step by step solution

01

Magnetic force on a moving charge

The magnetic field of force on a moving charge is perpendicular to the velocity and magnetic field of the charge which is given by the right-hand rule.

02

Step-2: Explanation

The particle will enter the magnetic field with a velocity that has a component parallel to the magnetic field, hence the component will remain unchanged and there will be a motion in the direction of the field. Hence, the trajectory of a moving charged particle will not always be perpendicular to the magnetic field lines.

Two metal spheres are hanging from nylon threads. When you bring the spheres close to each other, they tend to attract. Based on this information alone, discuss all the possible ways that the spheres could be charged. Is it possible that after the spheres touch, they will cling together? Explain.

In the circuit shown in Fig. Q26.4, three identical light bulbs are connected to a flashlight battery. How do the brightnesses of the bulbs compare? Which light bulb has the greatest current passing through it? Which light bulb has the greatest potential difference between its terminals? What happens if bulb A is unscrewed? Bulb B? Bulb C? Explain your reasoning.

Question: Three negative point charges lie along a line as shown in Fig. Find the magnitude and direction of the electric field this combination of charges produces at point P, which lies 6.00 cm from the -2.00 mC charge measured perpendicular to the line connecting the three charges

A parallel-plate capacitor is connected to a power supply that maintains a fixed potential difference between the plates. (a) If a sheet of dielectric is then slid between the plates, what happens to (i) the electric field between the plates, (ii) the magnitude of charge on each plate, and (iii) the energy stored in the capacitor? (b) Now suppose that before the dielectric is inserted, the charged capacitor is disconnected from the power supply. In this case, what happens to (i) the electric field between the plates, (ii) the magnitude of charge on each plate, and (iii) the energy stored in the capacitor? Explain any differences between the two situations.

Question: A 540-Welectric heater is designed to operate from120-Vlines. (a) What is its operating resistance?(b) What current does it draw?(c) If the line voltage drops to 110 V what power does the heater take? (Assume that the resistance is constant. Actually, it will change because of the change in temperature.)(d) The heater coils are metallic, so that the resistance of the heater decreases with decreasing temperature. If the change of resistance with temperature is taken into account, will the electrical power consumed by the heater be larger or smaller than what you calculated in part (c)? Explain.
