What particle can not be accerlated by the electric or magnetic field in a particle accelerator?

The ones that have more mass than the accelerator can move.


What is the path of charge particle inside magnetic field when it enters a magnetic field at right angles to it?

Depending on the direction of the magnetic field and the charge on the particle, the charge would move in a circular fashion either clockwise or anticlockwise depending on the circumstance. Using the right hand palm (push) rule, find the direction of the force (palm) and the charge continues on that path in a circular motion. If the particle leaves the field, it continues in that direction traveling in a straight line unless under other influences.


How is a magnetic field created?

A magnetic field is created around the path of travel of any moving charged particle. This is the only way to create a magnetic field, and it is why we call one of the four basic forces in the universe the electromagnetic force. A magnetic field cannot exist without the movement of a charge or charges to create it. Conversely, any charged particle that moves cannot move without creating a magnetic field about its path of travel.


Can a charged particle move through a magnetic field without experiencing any force?

No, the particle has the following forces f= qvB= - qv.B + qvxB, the first force is a scalar force when the particle is parallel to the field and teh second force is avector force when teh particle is perpendicular to the field. If the particle is not neither parallel or perpendicular to the field, both the scalar and vector forces will be experiencd.


What type of particle would not be deflected by a magnetic field?

A neutron, an antineutron, a neutrino, an antineutrino, and a photon would not be deflected by a magnetic field, as they all have no net electric charge. I do not find a reference to an antiphoton, but it makes sense that, if it existed, it would also not be affected by a magnetic field.

Why does it take stronger magnetic fields to move the beam of alpha particles compared to beta particles?

Because the charge on an alpha particle is 2 times stonger then on a beta particle, however, it the alpha particle is 7,350 times more massive (so it takes more force to move it the same distance).

Why is air gap is necessary in particle magnetic circuits?

Mainly air gap is necessary in magnetic circuit for two necessary reasons: 1. to prevent saturation 2. to allow an object to move in the magnetic field


How does magnetism cause an object to move?

All magnets have a magnetic field If the object that you want to move by using the magnet is with in the magnets magnetic field it will move.

Does a magnetic field strengthen on weekend as you move away from the eletromagnet?

The magnetic field becomes weaker as you move away from the electromagnetic source.


Particle accelerators use electromagnets to change a direction in which charged particles travel How does a charged particle move within a magnetic field?

The full motion is F=qvB where v and and B are vectors and the full motion is F= -qv.B + qvxb = qvB(-cos(angle) + vxBsin(angle)) there will be a scalar parallel to the field and the vector motion perpendicular to the field. This scalar field and motion is the real cause of so-called trapped particles. The vector motion is that of a mass spectrograph. The charged particle moves in a circle when perpendicular to the magnetic field.


How do you control a magnetic field from a distance?

Surrounding a magnet with a magnetic shell can allow the magnetic field to move farther away from its source.


How are electric force and magnetic force similar?

Both act only on charged particles (ions, protons, or electrons). ?However, an electric field (which generates an ELECTRIC FORCE) acts on a particle in the same direction as the field, given by the equation:F(vector) = q*E(vector)The resulting force vector is in the same direction as the field vector (for positive charges).A magnetic field generates a force ONLY on a MOVING charge, and ONLY if the charge is moving non-parallel to the magnetic field:F(vector) = q*v(vector) x B(vector)Because of the cross-product, the magnetic force is a direction perpendicular to the velocity and magnetic field vectors (use the right hand rule to figure out the direction of magnetic force). ?The particle will still have momentum from its initial velocity, so an applied magnetic field will (pretty much) always make the particle move in a curved path.
