A charged particle moving in a magnetic field will be deflected in a direction perpendicular to the magnetic field. This is the vector equation: F = m a = q v x B.

Answer:

Perpendicular

Explanation:

A charged particle moving in a magnetic field will be deflected in a direction perpendicular to the magnetic field.

The magnetic force is given by :

$F=q(v\times B)$

We know that, F = m a

$F=ma=q(v\times B)$

So, the motion of the charged particle is directly proportional to the q, v and B and also on the angle between the velocity and the magnetic field. It is maximum when the motion of charged particle is perpendicular to the magnetic field.

Oceanic water particles mainly move in circles; is this movement greater on the ocean's surface or below the surface? Explain yo

goblinko [34]

I think that the oceanic water particles mainly move in circles greater in the oceans surface because of how big the waves can be and how wind and air impact the motion. The water particles move more on the surface because of the other factors that impact it such as people, wind, air, etc...

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

Time taken, $T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{l\ cos\theta}{g}}$

Explanation:

It is given that, a small metal ball is suspended from the ceiling by a thread of negligible mass. The ball is then set in motion in a horizontal circle so that the thread’s trajectory describes a cone as shown in attached figure.

From the figure,

The sum of forces in y direction is :

$T\ cos\theta-mg=0$
