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...
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..?
