Best Answer

A charged particle is accelerated in magnetic field if it has a velocity. F = Q v x B, where v x B is cross-product of speed and magnetic flux vectors. According to Newton F = ma where you can find the acceleration if you know the mass.

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.


Why do charged particles from the sun (the solar wind) get trapped in the van Allen radiation belts?

The Van Allen belts are caused by Earth's magnetic field. Charged particles are deflected in the presence of a magnetic field.


Cyclotrons and synchrotrons accelerate charged particles by repeatedly supplying them with the pulses of?

electromagnetic fields. These fields are generated by powerful magnets which create a strong magnetic field. The particles are then guided in circular paths, and as they pass through the electromagnetic field pulses, they gain energy and accelerate. This process is repeated multiple times to achieve the desired energy for the particles.


How does earth's magnetic field help human beings?

The Earth's magnetic field deflects solar winds which contain charged particles. These particles would be fatal to human beings.


What causes the lights?

The Sun's magnetic field produces charged particles and these charged particles are usually radiated out into space. Sometimes these charged particles may be caught in Earth's magnetic field and as they enter the upper atmosphere of Earth, they are in contact with other gases in the upper atmosphere and emit light and colors. The solar wind reacts to the Earth's magnetic field and then spreads across the ionosphere (the upper, charged layer of our atmosphere).


Prevents charged particles from the sun from reaching the surface?

The Earth is protected from the sun's charged particles by its magnetic field. The Earths magnetic field is generated within its molten iron core. Other examples of planets with magnetic fields include: Mercury, Jupiter, Ganymede (Ganymede is the largest moon in the solar system) , Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.Mercury has a relitivley weak magnetic field. It is so weak that the suns charged particles can reach the surface of Mercury. +++ Also the atmosphere.
