Circular motion:
FB= q v x B
Since magnetic force is transverse to motion,
v the natural movement of charges is circular.

In general, path is
a helix (component of
v parallel to field is
unchanged).

Aurora borealis
(northern lights)
Synchrotron Fermilab,
Batavia, IL (1km)
Suppose you wish to accelerate charged
particles as fast as you can.
Wikipedia:
This synchrotron is designed to
collide opposing particle beams
of either protons at an energy
of 7 teraelectronvolts per
particle, or lead nuclei at an
energy of 574 TeV per nucleus.
On 30 March 2010, the first
planned collisions took place
27km circumference between two 3.5 TeV beams,
which set a new world record
for the highest-energy man-
made particle collisions.

Two charged ions A and B traveling with a
constant velocity v enter a box in which there
is a uniform magnetic field directed out of the A v
page. The subsequent paths are as shown.
What can you conclude?
(a) Both ions are negatively charged. B
(b) Ion A has a larger mass than B.
v
(c) Ion A has a larger charge than B.
(d) None of the above. FB= q v x B
(a) F=qv x B.
The vector v x B will point down when the charges enter the box; the
force also points down for cw motion: charges must be positive.
(b,c) r= mv/qB
Same speed and B for both masses; larger radius for A than B. Ion
with larger mass/charge ratio (m/q) moves in circle of larger radius.
But that’s all we know! We cannot conclude b or c.
(d) Is the right answer.

A solid metal cube moves with
constant velocity v in the y-
direction. There is a uniform
magnetic field B in the z-
direction.
• What is the direction of the magnetic force on the electrons in the cube?
• What is the direction of the electric field established by the electrons that moved
due to the magnetic force?
• Which cube face is at a lower electric potential due to the motion through the
field?
• What is the direction of the electric force on the electrons inside the cube?
• If there is a balance between electric and magnetic forces, what is the potential
difference between the cube faces (in terms of the cube’s velocity v, side length d
and magnetic field B)?
