Ok, so I've just started studying quantum physics with the introductory double slit experiment. I thought I had a pretty good grasp on the results of the experiment but my tutor says I don't. This is what I interpreted from the experiment: Both slits are open. We place a detector along...

Sorry, I meant top. Top = left. What two things do I use the right hand rule with though?

Homework Statement Two current carrying wires run parallel. The bottom wire creates a magnetic field at a point on the top wire. What direction is the force on the left wire? --------->------ --------->------ Homework Equations I'm assuming there's no equation, just the right hand...

So mass is independent of charge...? but I thought a single proton would always have charge +e. So in this case, the charge is 3C.. is it possible that it still has the same mass as a regular proton? The equation used to derive r=mv/qb is F=qvB=m(v^2/R). I can find out what the force is...

The Lorentz Force equation is F = q(E + v x B) but I don't know how to use it in this occasion.. I have the question written out exactly as our professor stated it but I'm assuming the mass should be stated because I don't know how to solve it otherwise.

I think the equation for radius is mv/(qB) but I still don't know if I should use 1.67*10^(-27) kg as the mass. Q = 3C so it seems like it would be a mistake to make the mass equal to that of a proton's mass when Q does not equal 1.6*10^(19) C... Then the equation for the period is qB/m..?

Homework Statement A charge enters a magnetic field. Draw the path the charge will follow and find the radius and period of the particle's path. v=10m/s (drawn as a straight line pointing right) q=3c B=4T (points outward)Homework Equations I'm not sure. The Attempt at a Solution The...

Sorry, forgot to mention that: the velocity moves straight from left to right.

Homework Statement Find magnitude and direction of F of a charge moving through a magnetic field. velocity: 5 m/s charge: 2 C B: 3 T (pointing out of the page when drawn) Homework Equations (vector)F=qv x B (magnitude)F=qvBsinθ The Attempt at a Solution I know to use the...
