no, it curves steadily towards the north side of the magnet.
this effect happens because alpha particles have a positive charge due to their atom. the atom of an alpha radiation atom is 2 protons and 2 neutrons (similar to He), which gives the atom a positive charge thus it bends towards the north or negative side of the magnet.

How does magnetism effect alpha radiation?
Magnetism does not directly affect alpha radiation, as alpha radiation consists of positively charged alpha particles that are not influenced by magnetic fields. However, in certain cases, magnetic fields can be used to manipulate the path of alpha particles for research or experimental purposes.
Is gamma radiation effected by a magnetic field?
Nothing. The gamma ray is not deflected by a magnetic field, which demonstrates that unlike the alpha and beta rays, the gamma is not a stream of charged particles, but is electromagnetic radiation.
What happens to beta radiation in a magnetic field?
Alpha waves are bent Gamma waves are not affected Beta waves are not bent
How does an alpha particle move in a magnetic field?
An alpha particle is a positively charged particle, so it will experience a force perpendicular to both its velocity and the magnetic field direction. This force causes the alpha particle to move in a circular path due to the magnetic field's influence. The radius of the circle will depend on the velocity of the alpha particle and the strength of the magnetic field.
What two types of radiation would be deflected by an electric field?
Ionizing radiation is generally divided into electromagnetic radiation and particulate radiation. Charged particles are affected, and this will include protons, beta particles and alpha particles. Neutrons, another particulate form of ionizing radiation, won't be affected. Electromagnetic ionizing radiation, cosmic rays and gamma rays, are not effected.
Why beta and alpha particles deflected when they pass the magnetic field?
Alpha and beta particles are deflected by a magnetic field because they have charge and, as such, are affected by the electromagnetic interaction or force.
Does an alpha particle and beta particle has the same speed in a magnetic field?
Alpha particles with the same energy as beta particles have much less speed, magnetic field or no.
Does an alpha particle would be affected by magnetic field?
Yes, an alpha particle would be affected by a magnetic field because it has a charge. When moving through a magnetic field, the charged alpha particle will experience a force perpendicular to both its velocity and the magnetic field direction, leading it to move in a curved path.
How does an alpha particle move through a magnetic field?
An alpha particle is positively charged and will experience a force perpendicular to its velocity when moving through a magnetic field. This force will cause the alpha particle to follow a curved path due to the Lorentz force. The direction of the curved path will depend on the charge of the alpha particle and the orientation of the magnetic field.
What type of radiation is not affected by magnetic fields?
Charged particles will be deflected by an electric field. The movement of any charged particle through an electric field will cause that charged particle to be attracted by one pole of the field and repelled by the other. That leaves uncharged particulate radiation, like a neutron, and electromagnetic radiation that will not be deflected by an electric field. The electromagnetic radiation will include X-rays and gamma rays.
What is another word for earths magnetic field?
= An effect of the magnetic field is "Van Allen radiation belt" =
What ionizing radiation is not affected by an electric field?
No electromagnetic radiation, whether ionizing or not, is affected by an electric field or by a magnetic field.
