SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on solving two particle track questions related to magnetic fields in specific quadrants: Top Left (TL), Top Right (TR), Bottom Left (BL), and Bottom Right (BR). For the first question, the correct answer is B, indicating that the B field in the TL and TR quadrants are in opposite directions. For the second question, the correct answer is A, indicating that the B field in the TL and BL quadrants are in the same direction. The participants clarify the relevance of trajectories based on the specified quadrants.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of particle trajectories in physics
  • Familiarity with magnetic fields and their directional properties
  • Knowledge of quadrant labeling in a Cartesian coordinate system
  • Basic problem-solving skills in physics
NEXT STEPS
  • Review the principles of magnetic fields and their effects on charged particles
  • Study the concept of particle trajectories in different quadrants
  • Explore examples of similar problems involving magnetic fields and particle motion
  • Learn about the Lorentz force and its application in particle physics
USEFUL FOR

Students studying physics, particularly those focusing on electromagnetism and particle dynamics, as well as educators looking for examples of problem-solving in these areas.

Homework Statement


So there are 2 questions i need help with.
1. Divide the room (for the rest of this valdation) into four (4) quadrants labeled Top Left (TL), Top Right (TR), Bottom Left (BL), and Bottom Right (BR). Which of the four particle tracks indicates that the B field in the TL and TR quadrants are in the opposite direction?
2. Which of the four particle tracks indicates that the B field in the TL and BL quadrants are in the same direction?

Homework Equations


no equations needed



The Attempt at a Solution


for number 1, i thought the answer would be C, and two i thought the answer would be D. But i got both answers wrong. I was wondering if someone could help me on these 2 questions.
Thanks.

Problem 1 asks about "top left" and "top right" so only a trajectory that stays in the top half is relevant. Problem 2 talks about the "top left" and "lower left" so only a trajectory that stays in the left half is relevant.
 
SO could you say that for problem one would have to be B, and for problem 2 the answer would have to be A?
