In separate experiments, a large number of particles (all with the same charge but with a wide variety of masses, speeds, and sp
in angular momentum) are fired into a region containing a uniform magnetic field. The velocities of the particles are all perpendicular to the field. What do the particles that move in orbits of the same radius have in common
The particles that move in orbits of the same radius have the same momentum.
<h3>Orbital angular momentum:</h3>
A point particle's three-dimensional angular momentum is traditionally represented by the pseudovector r p, which is the cross product of the particle's position vector r (relative to some origin) and momentum vector, which in Newtonian physics is denoted by p = mv.
L = mr = mr²w is the particle's orbital angular momentum in units of magnitude. The part of the particle's velocity that is here perpendicular to the axis of rotation is designated as The right-hand rule indicates the direction of the angular momentum. In isolated systems, the angular momentum is conserved.
