Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around the behavior of charged particles in crossed uniform electric and magnetic fields, specifically analyzing their motion based on given velocity vectors and charge types. Participants are exploring the implications of the Right Hand Rule (RHR) and Left Hand Rule (LHR) in determining the direction of forces acting on the particles.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Assumption checking, Conceptual clarification

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants discuss the application of RHR and LHR to determine the direction of forces on charged particles, questioning the effects of both electric and magnetic fields. There is a focus on how the sign of the charge influences the direction of the electric force and the overall net force on the particles.

Discussion Status

The conversation is ongoing, with participants providing feedback on each other's reasoning. Some guidance has been offered regarding the need to consider both electric and magnetic forces, as well as the charge of the particles. Multiple interpretations of the forces acting on the particles are being explored.

Contextual Notes

Participants are working under constraints related to homework rules, including limited attempts and the necessity to verify their reasoning against the information provided in a table. There is an emphasis on understanding the relationships between speed, charge, and force direction.

Yes, 9 and 10 will have a net force out of the page.

So far, I think you have 2, 6, 9, and 10 out of the page. Any others out of the page?
Is 5 also included?

OK. I am old and prone to errors!
So of course the responsibility is yours for double checking the answers.
