Question

1A) The Lorentz Force is made of two parts: the electric force and the magnetic force.

a) An electron is a negatively charged particle. If the electron is at rest,

i) Will the electron feel the electric force? Explain.

ii) Will the electron feel the magnetic force? Explain.

b) A neutron is a neutral particle (i.e. it has no charge). If the neutron is moving,

i) Will the neutron feel the electric force? Explain.

ii) Will the neutron feel the magnetic force? Explain.

2B) You place a magnet in a magnetic field (shown below). How will the magnet respond? Hint: a compass is a magnet

3C) Draw the direction of the magnetic force when a charged particle is moving in the direction shown. v is the velocity and B is the magnetic field. Use/draw "arrows pointing left, up, down, right , ⨀ (out of the page), or a circle with an X in it (into the page) to write your answer. hint: you will need to use a right-hand rule

a)

b)
