Show all work and explain thought process. If you have any questions please let me know.

Explain why, if a particle is injected into the magnetic field at V with a velocity less than (found in part d), that it is trapped inside the magnetic field; the "shield" works both ways! For the case of the Earth, where = 0.3R3 G, and for a geosynchronous satellite at a distance 6.6 R from the Earth's center near the equator, up to what kinetic energy (in MeV) is the satellite shielded from proton radiation from outside the magnetosphere?

Explanation / Answer

Students use an online activity to explore the forces felt by charged particles moving through

magnetic fields. Students can change values such as strength of the field, mass and velocity of the

injected particle and observe the particle
