What are the missing entries in the table for the right hand rule?

Click For Summary

Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around a problem involving the right-hand rule in the context of a charged particle moving perpendicular to a magnetic field. Participants are tasked with identifying missing entries in a table that relates charge, velocity, magnetic field, and force.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants discuss the relationships between the vector quantities and express uncertainty about the missing entries in the table. There is a suggestion to redraw the table for clarity, and one participant references the equation F=q(vXB) as relevant to the problem.

Discussion Status

The discussion is ongoing, with participants exploring different interpretations of the problem. Some guidance has been offered regarding the relevant equation, but there is no explicit consensus on the missing entries or the correct approach to complete the table.

Contextual Notes

Participants are working within the constraints of a homework assignment that requires them to fill in specific entries based on their understanding of the right-hand rule and vector relationships.

I think you should redraw your table, since it means nothing as it is!
 
the relevant equation is F=q(vXB)
 
so what do u think?
