SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the movement of charged particles in crossed uniform electric and magnetic fields, specifically analyzing which particles will move out of the page. Participants utilized the Right Hand Rule (RHR) and Left Hand Rule (LHR) to determine the forces acting on the particles. The conclusion reached is that particles 2, 6, 9, and 10 will move out of the page, while particles 1, 3-5, and 7-8 will not, due to the influence of both electric and magnetic forces and the charges of the particles.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of electric and magnetic fields
  • Familiarity with the Right Hand Rule (RHR) and Left Hand Rule (LHR)
  • Knowledge of the behavior of charged particles in electromagnetic fields
  • Basic principles of force vectors and net force calculations
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the application of the Right Hand Rule (RHR) and Left Hand Rule (LHR) in various scenarios
  • Learn about the Lorentz force equation and its implications for charged particles
  • Explore the effects of varying electric and magnetic field strengths on particle trajectories
  • Investigate the role of charge polarity in determining force direction
USEFUL FOR

Students studying electromagnetism, physics educators, and anyone interested in the dynamics of charged particles in electric and magnetic fields.

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.
