Part A
Neutral particle is the one that does not deflect when placed in a uniform magnetic field.
Charged Particles Moving in a Magnetic Field Ranking Task
Five equal-mass particles (AE) enter a region of uniform magnetic field directed into the page. They follow the trajectories illustrated in the figure. (Figure 1)
Part A
Which particle (if any) is neutral?
a) particle A
b) particle B
c) particle C
d) particle D
e) particle E
f) none
Part B
Which particle (if any) is negatively charged?
a) particle A
b) particle B
c) particle C
d) particle D
e) particle E
f) none
Part D Rank the particles A, B, C, and E on the basis of their speed. Rank from largest to smallest. To rank items as equivalent, overlap them.
