<span> (a) does an electric field exert a force on a stationary charged object?
Yes. The force exerted by an electric field of intensity E on an object with charge q is
</span>
<span>As we can see, it doesn't depend on the speed of the object, so this force acts also when the object is stationary.
</span><span>(b) does a magnetic field do so?
No. In fact, the magnetic force exerted by a magnetic field of intensity B on an object with charge q and speed v is
</span>
where
is the angle between the direction of v and B.
As we can see, the value of the force F depends on the value of the speed v: if the object is stationary, then v=0, and so the force is zero as well.
<span>(c) does an electric field exert a force on a moving charged object?
Yes, The intensity of the electric force is still
</span>
<span>as stated in point (a), and since it does not depend on the speed of the charge, the electric force is still present.
</span><span>(d) does a magnetic field do so?
</span>Yes. As we said in point b, the magnetic force is
And now the object is moving with a certain speed v, so the magnetic force F this time is different from zero.
<span>(e) does an electric field exert a force on a straight current-carrying wire?
Yes. A current in a wire consists of many charges traveling through the wire, and since the electric field always exerts a force on a charge, then the electric field exerts a force on the charges traveling through the wire.
</span><span>(f) does a magnetic field do so?
Yes. The current in the wire consists of charges that are moving with a certain speed v, and we said that a magnetic field always exerts a force on a moving charge, so the magnetic field is exerting a magnetic force on the charges that are traveling through the wire.
</span><span>(g) does an electric field exert a force on a beam of moving electrons?
Yes. Electrons have an electric charge, and we said that the force exerted by an electric field is
</span>
<span>So, an electric field always exerts a force on an electric charge, therefore on an electron beam as well.
</span><span>(h) does a magnetic field do so?
Yes, because the electrons in the beam are moving with a certain speed v, so the magnetic force
</span>
<span>is different from zero because v is different from zero.</span>
