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.

Where is synthetic elements made?
in nuclear reactors and particle accelerators
What particles are in soil?
particles are of soil so there is no particle in the soil ANSWER: Rock and mineral particles are found in soil.
Why are synthetic elements made?
It depends on the element. Some synthetic elements can be made by bombarding the nucleus of a lighter element with protons or alpha particles. The heavier synthetic elements are made by colliding atomic nuclei with one another.
How do the particles move in the ground when p waves pass through it?
P waves are longitudinal mechanical waves which are formed from alternating compressions and rarefactions. In a longitudinal wave the particle displacement is parallel to the direction of wave propagation.The particles do not move with the wave; they simply oscillate back and forth about their individual equilibrium positions. Thus particles in the ground move or vibrate along or parallel to the traveling direction of the P wave when it passes through them..
Can a particle be diffracted?
Yes, a particle can be diffracted. Some of these are electrons and neutrons .This is a quantum mechanics theory stating that particles can exhibit wavelike properties.
What can you do with electromagnets?
Many things. Particle accelerators, Rail Guns, motors, generators and MAGLEV trains.
Why do scientist collide particles in particle accelerators?
They are trying to learn more about the subatomic particles that neutrons and protons are made of.
What is electromagnets used in?
Electromagnetism is used in electric motors, computer hard drives (and other magnetic storage media), junkyard electromagnets, televisions, particle accelerators, MRIs, and many other devices.
What is particle collision?
Particle collision usually refers to two subatomic particles slamming into each other at high speeds causing them to break into smaller particles. These speeds are created by particle accelerators.
How large are particles?
Small particle accelerators can sit on a desktop, large circular ones can be miles across
Are particle accelerators the same as super colliders?
Sort of. Particle accelerators are anything that take particles (usually electrons or protons) and accelerate them to high speeds. Super colliders are really powerful particle accelerators along with a bunch of equipment to measure what happens when the particles collide. So when someone talks about a particle accelerator, they're usually talking about colliders. But there are lots of things that are particle accelerators that aren't colliders. The old CRT computer monitors (heavy ones that are about as deep as they are wide) accelerate electrons and shoot them into the glass plate in front to make light, so there's a particle accelerator inside.
What are particle accelerators also called?
Particle accelerators are also known as atom smashers
What particles in this state have the most energy?
Gas
How large are particle accelerators?
Small particle accelerators can sit on a desktop, large circular ones can be miles across
What has the author Robert R Wilson written?
Robert R. Wilson has written: 'Particle accelerators' -- subject(s): Particle accelerators
A machine used for making sub-atomic particles move faster?
Particle accelerators function to propel subatomic particles. They use electromagnetic fields to make the particles move at a faster speed, and to arrange them into beams.
When were Particle accelerators first developed?
Particle accelerators were first developed by John D. Cockcroft and Ernest T. S. Walton in 1932
