jcpwn2004 said:I'm kinda confused by which way the magnetic field is pointing but basically use your right hand and point it in the direction the electron is moving and then rotate your arm so that your palm is facing the direction of the magnetic field. Whatever you get for this is the opposite of the answer since it's an electron.
A magnetic field is a region of space around a magnet where magnetic forces can be detected. It is created by moving electric charges and is represented by lines of force, also known as magnetic field lines.
A magnetic field is created by moving electric charges. This can occur naturally in materials with magnetic properties, such as iron, or can be created artificially using electricity. When an electric current flows through a wire, it creates a magnetic field around the wire.
A magnetic field is created by moving electric charges, while an electric field is created by stationary electric charges. Additionally, magnetic fields are always perpendicular to the direction of motion of the charges, while electric fields can be in any direction relative to the charges.
Magnetic fields interact with each other through magnetic forces. Like poles (north and north or south and south) repel each other, while opposite poles (north and south) attract each other. The strength of the magnetic force depends on the strength of the magnetic fields and the distance between them.
Magnetic fields have many practical applications in everyday life. They are used in generators to produce electricity, in motors to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy, in compasses for navigation, and in speakers and headphones to produce sound. Magnetic fields are also used in medical imaging devices like MRIs and in data storage devices like hard drives.
