Movement of particles in Magnetic Field

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the movement of charged particles in a magnetic field, specifically confirming the correctness of answers related to the radius of curvature for different charges. The user believes that particle B has the largest radius due to its speed, while A has the smallest radius, indicating it has the largest charge. The equations provided illustrate that the radius is proportional to velocity and inversely proportional to charge. Another participant confirms the user's answers and suggests using Fleming's left-hand rule for further questions. The conversation emphasizes understanding the relationship between charge, velocity, and the resulting path in a magnetic field.

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


i need someone to confirm if this is right...
1) B
3)C<B<A
For the first one, my friend said it's A,because it bends more,
i think he is wrong...
If i am wrong, please explain it
ty! (just 1 and 3)

Path of the charged particle in a uniform magnetic field is given by
m*v^2/r = qvB
or
m*v = q*r*B.
Now try for the solution.
 
r=(mv)/qB, radius is proportional to the velocity,
B have the largest radius, so the speed will be the fastest

r=(mv)/qB, radius is proportional to the inverse of charge
A have the smallest radius, so the charge will the biggest,...
C<B<A
am i right?
 
anyone... ? I still have 2 more similar question to do, I need some one to confirm if i am right on this one
 
Your answers are correct.
For 2, use Flemming's left hand rule to decide the nature of the charges.
 
thank you so much!
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
