Question
Determine the direction of the force (if any) that will act on the charge in each of the following situations. A positive charge within an electric field that points to the right. A negative charge within an electric field that points downward. A positive charge moving downward in a magnetic field that points out of the screen. A negative charge moving to the right in a magnetic field that points into the screen. A positive charge moving upward in an electric field that points into the screen. A negative charge moving downward in a magnetic field that points downward.Explanation / Answer
a. to the right
b. Upwards
c. to the left ( using left hand rule)
d. Downwards
e. Into the screen
f. No force
The following formulae have been used to determine direction
F = q v x B [ magnetic force]
F = q E [ electric force]
