Yes, a moving electron will create a magnetic field. Any moving charge will create a magnetic field around its path of travel. This is the basis for the electromagnetic force, which is one of the four fundamental forces in nature.

A magnetic field alters the direction a charged particle is traveling. This is true if the charged particle is moving "across" and not "along" the magnetic lines of force of the field through which it is moving. The particle is said to be deflected when it (the particle) passes through magnetic field lines.

The reason for the observed deflection is because a charged particle that is moving creates a magnetic field, and this field will react with the magnetic field through which it is moving. The result will be lateral deflection, and positively charged particles will be deflected one way and negatively charged particles will be deflected the other.

The charged particle will travel in a curved path if the direction of movement is perpendicular to the magnetic field lines. If they are parallel, there's no effect on the path of the particle. You can use the Fleming's Left Hand Rule to figure out which direction the charged particle will deflect, if you know the direction of the magnetic field and the direction of the movement of particle.

How does the Earth's magnetic field deflect charged particles?

A charged particle naturally changes direction in a magnetic field. This is because any charged particle produces a magnetic field when it is moving. And if the charged particle is moving through a magnetic field, the two fields (in this case the Earth's and the one created by the moving particle) interact to deflect the particle. The particle will be deflected "to the side" or laterally, and positively charged particles will be deflected in the opposite direction of negatively charged one.


A charged particle moving with a constant velocity enters a magnetic field?

when a charged particle is moving with some velocity it produces some magnetic field. If we place that charged particle in presence of external magnetic field it gets affected by that external field.


What is the scientific principle behind particle accelators?

particle accelerators work by accelerating a charged particle in a magnetic field where the lines of magnetic flux are such that the particle is accelerated into a circular path. This is so that the force produced by such a motion and magnetic field is perpendicular to both the lines of magnetic flux and the velocity of the particle. The stronger the magnetic field and the faster the particle is moving, the more of a force is required (i.e stronger magnetic field) to keep the particle accelerating. Only a charged particle is affected by a magnetic field so only charged particles can be used inside a particle accelerators (i.e protons and electrons.) neutrons have a charge of zero and are not affected by magnetic fields.


Does an alpha particle would be affected by magnetic field?

Sure, like any moving and charged particle.


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.

What is a magnetic field vector?

It is a way of representing the magnetic force at a point in the field. The magnitude and direction of the vector represents the strength and the direction of the magnetic force acting on a charged particle in the field.

It produced a magnetic field. If it's charged, it can be negative OR positive. It's magnetic because if they're both alike signs (both positive or both negative) they repel like magnets. If one particle is positive and one is negative, they attract like magnets.
