Answer:
Right Hand Rule
Explanation:
When a charged particle travels in a magnetic field, it experiences a force whose magnitude is given by:
where
q is the charge of the particle
v is the velocity
B is the magnetic field strength
is the angle between the directions of v and B
The direction of the force can be determined by using the Right Hand Rule, as follows:
- index finger: this should be put in the direction of the velocity
- middle finger: this should be put in the direction of the magnetic field
- thumb: this will give the direction of the force -> however, for a negative charge (as the electron) the direction must be reversed, so it will be opposite.

Question:
A student bikes to school by traveling first 1.00 miles north, then 0.500 miles west and finally 0.200 miles south.
If a bird were to start out from the origin (where the student starts) and fly directly (in a straight line) to the school, what distance db would the bird cover
Given Information:
distance towards north = dn = 1.00 mi
distance towards west = dw = 0.500 mi
distance towards south = ds = 0.200 mi
Required Information:
distance covered by bird = db = ?
Answer:
distance covered by bird = 0.94 miles
Explanation:
As you can see in the attached image, by applying the Pythagoras theorem,
db = √(dn - ds)² + dw²
db = √ (1.0 - 0.20)² + 0.50²
db = √ 0.80² + 0.50²
db = 0.94 miles
Therefore, the bird would cover a distance of 0.94 miles
