toward the right
out of the page
into the page
toward the top of the page
toward the bottom of the page
A particle of charge +Q moving with speed v0 enters a region of constant magnetic field B directed into the page, as shown above. The initial direction and magnitude of the acceleration of the particle as it enters the magnetic field is toward the
bottom of the page and proportional to B
bottom of the page and proportional to v0
top of the page and inversely proportional to v0
top of the page and inversely proportional to B
top of the page and proportional to both B and v0
An object with charge +q passes to the right of one pole of a magnet and at a particular instant is moving with a velocity v toward the bottom of the page, as shown in the figure above. The force exerted on the object by the magnet at that instant is directed into the page. What is the direction of the force exerted on the magnet by the object?
Out of the page
Toward the right
Toward the top of the page
No direction; the force is zero.
