Magnetic Field

A beam of electrons travels at 6.0×10⁶ m/s through a uniform magnetic field of   6.5×10⁻¹ T at right angles to the field. How strong is the force acting on each electron? 

• =  6.25×10⁻¹³ N
• =  −6.25×10⁻¹³ N
• =  −6.25×10⁻¹⁰ N
• =  −6.25×10⁻¹³ M

A straight wire carrying a 9.0 A current is in a uniform magnetic field oriented at right angles to the wire. When 75 cm of wire is in the field, the force on the wire is 1.2 N. What is the strength of the magnetic field (B)? HINT: F=I.L.B

• = 0.18 N
• = 0.18 T
• = 0.18 Cm
• = 0.18

There are several modern uses of magnets.  Magnets allow high speed trains to ______________________ above the track.  They go faster because without touching the tracks there is no friction to slow them down.

• collide
• levitate
• attract
• repair

Are the magnetic field lines in the picture correct?

• Yes, because they point from north to south.
• No, because they point from north to south (they're supposed to go the other way).
• Yes, because the North pole is on the left in all pictures.
• No, because the North pole is on the left in all pictures (it's supposed to be on the right).
