Answer: Hi!
A terrestrial planet is composed of a solid substance like rock or earth. A few examples are our planet, Earth, and the red planet, Mars. These are the planets that are the closest to the sun. There are four terrestrial planets in total. The only known terrestrial planet that has life, however, is our own, Earth! Earth has the perfect conditions for supporting life forms.
Hope this helps!
Nice paddling. Thanks for sharing.
Do you have some question to ask ?
The electron's path in the magnetic field is a straight line when viewed from above.
In fact, the electron initially moves upward, while the magnetic field is directed horizontally. The electron experiences a force due to the magnetic field (the Lorentz force), whose direction is given by the right-hand rule:
- index finger --> initial direction of the electron (upward)
- middle finger --> direction of the magnetic field (horizontally, away from the observer)
- opposite direction to the thumb* --> direction of the force (horizontally, but perpendicular to the magnetic field, to the right)
This means that the Lorentz force makes the electron moving perpendicular to the magnetic field in the horizontal plane, and since the direction of the field is not changing, this force does not change its direction, so the electron moves in the same direction of the force in the horizontal plane (to the right), therefore following a straight line.
* the direction should be reversed because the charge is negative.
