I've heard that the Earth's magnetic field protects us from radiation but am curious as to how this works. I assume it would have something to do with charged particle motion in a mag field because radiation is ionizing but I can't seem to nut out the mechanics behind it. Thanks in advance.

Thanks BruceW, Your right in saying it was the basics of circular motion as this is my first year of high school physics, however, I am curious about the more advanced side of circular motion (or any kind of mechanics in general, as I am aspiring to become an aeronautical or aerospace...

This began as homework that our Physics teacher set us. However, for some reason he decided no to collect it. I am curious as to whether or not this display my understanding of the topic well as communication is main area my teacher believes I need improvement in. Homework Statement Write a...
