When an electron passes through the magnetic field of a horseshoe magnet, the electron's direction is changed.

Path of an electron in a magnetic field

The force (F) on wire of length L carrying a current I in a magnetic field of strength B is given by the equation:

F = BIL

But Q = It and since Q = e for an electron and v = L/t you can show that :

Magnetic force on an electron = BIL = B[e/t][vt] = Bev where v is the electron velocity

In a magnetic field the force is always at right angles to the motion of the electron (Fleming's left hand rule) and so the resulting path of the electron is circular.

Therefore :

Magnetic force = Bev = mv2/r = centripetal force

v = [Ber]/m

and so you can see from these equations that as the electron slows down the radius of its orbit decreases.

If the electron enters the field at an angle to the field direction the resulting path of the electron (or indeed any charged particle) will be helical. Such motion occurs above the poles of the Earth where charges particles from the Sun spiral through the Earth's field to produce the aurorae.

1. Which liquid sample is a pure substance?
IRISSAK [1]

The whole Activity , poem and paragraph is missing in the question.

Answer:

(1) Liquid A

(2) Solid A

Explanation:

Using this part of the given poem

Substances and mixtures behave differently,

During boiling and melting most especially

Boiling point of substance is fixed while mixture is not

Substance melts completely but mixture does not

The boiling point of the Pure substance remain fixed after reaching its boiling point this is shown by Liquid A

Solid A is melting completely so Solid A is a pure substance.
