Magnetic Forces - Magnetic Force on Moving Charges

Question 1

moving charges

Answer 1

• A charged particle moving without acceleration produces an electric as well as a magnetic field. It produces an electric field because it’s a charge particle. But when it is at rest, it doesn’t produce a magnetic field

Question 2

what do you need to make a magnetic force

Answer 2

• a charge, q
• moving at a velocity, v
• in the presence of a magnetic field, B

Question 3

v perpendicular to B

Answer 3

• magnetic force is perpendicular to v and B

- no force if v is parallel to B
