Electric and Magnetic Field lines

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on determining the movement of charged particles in crossed electric and magnetic fields, emphasizing the application of the Right-Hand Rule (RHR) and Left-Hand Rule (LHR). Participants clarify that both electric and magnetic forces must be considered, especially the effect of particle charge on the direction of these forces. The net force on particles is analyzed, leading to the conclusion that particles 2, 6, 9, and 10 will move out of the page, while the magnetic force is zero for particles 7-10, requiring consideration of only the electric force for them. The importance of checking calculations and understanding the relationship between force strength and particle speed is highlighted. Overall, the conversation aims to resolve confusion regarding the forces acting on the particles and their resultant movement.

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.
