The direction of deflection of an electron beam in a magnetic field can be determined by which of the following?
1 answer:
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.
