A scientist is studying the radioactive decay of an element and wants to determine the sign of some of the particles emitted. The scientist lets a beam of the particles, all with the same speed, pass through an opening in a shield and enter the field created by a wire carrying a constant current. Paths 1 and 2 represent the observed paths of the particles. Based on the paths, which of the following could be the types of particles?
Particle 1 = electron Particle 2 = alpha
Particle 1 = alpha Particle 2 = electron
Particle 1 = positron Particle 2 = alpha
Particle 1 = alpha Particle 2 = positron
The figure above shows a long, straight wire that has a steady current I in the +y-direction. A small object with charge +q hangs from a thread near the wire. A student wants to investigate the magnetic force on the object due to the current but is not able to observe or measure changes in the tension in the string. Of the following actions that the student can take, which will allow the student to observe a reaction of the object due to the magnetic force on it?
Holding the object motionless
Moving the object in a circle that is centered on the wire and in the x-z plane
Moving the object in the –x-direction
Moving the object in the +y-direction
A wire in the plane of the page carries a current directed toward the top of the page as shown above. If the wire is located in a uniform magnetic field B directed out of the page, the force on the wire resulting from the magnetic field is

The ends of a metal bar rest on two horizontal north-south rails as shown above. The bar may slide without friction freely with its length horizontal and lying east and west as shown above. There is a magnetic field parallel to the rails and directed north. A battery is connected between the rails and causes the electrons in the bar to drift to the east. The resulting magnetic force on the bar is directed
north
south
