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.

∙ 12y agoAny electrically charged particle is deflected by a magnetic field. The greatest
deflection would be experienced by a particle with the combination of greatest
charge and smallest mass, or, you might say, the greatest ratio of charge to mass.
An electron is a good one to look at. It has a full quantum of charge, and the other
naturally-occurring charged particle ... the proton ... has the same amount of charge
as an electron has but 1,840 times as much mass. So electrons are deflected much
more than protons are by the same magnetic field.

Would a neutron be deflected by a maagnetic field why or why not?
Since a neutron has no charge, it would not be deflected by a magnetic field.
What happens to a current carrying wire in a magnetic field when it is reversed?
the wire would be deflected perpendicular to the magnetic field in the opposite direction.
Does an alpha particle would be affected by magnetic field?
Sure, like any moving and charged particle.
Why are alpha and beta rays deflected in opposite directions in a magnetic field?
An alpha particle, which is a 24He nucleus, has a mass of 4 and a charge of +2. A beta particle has a charge of +1 or -1, depending on whether it is a positron (beta +) or an electron (beta -). It's mass is minuscule compared to the alpha particle, and it will undergo a comparatively huge deflection in the same field as an alpha particle would. Though the alpha particle has twice the charge as a beta particle, it has several thousand times the mass of that beta particle. As it is so much more massive than the beta particle, its inertia will be much more difficult to overcome even though it has twice the charge.
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 did JJ Thomson know that the particles in the cathode-ray tube were negatively charged?
They are found to be deflected by electric and magnetic field in the specific direction in which a negatively charged particle would get deflected.
Which are defected by electric and magnetic fields?
Any charged particle in motion especially not parallel to the magnetic field, current carrying conductor kept inclined or perpendicular to the magnetic field would get deflected. As far as electric field is concerned, even stationary charges would be displaced.
What would happen if a charged particle strikes the earth's magnetic field at the equator?
It would be induced to follow the lines of force in a clockwise spiral. As the lines of force at the equator are parallel to the surface of the Earth, the charged particle would be deflected northwards.
What happens to a current carrying wire in a magnetic field when it is reversed?
the wire would be deflected perpendicular to the magnetic field in the opposite direction.
Does an alpha particle would be affected by magnetic field?
Sure, like any moving and charged particle.
How did thomas discover the electron?
J. J. Thomson discovered the electron using an experiment involving cathode rays and a magnetic field. When subjected to the magnetic field, the cathode ray was deflected. If the magnetic field was flipped, the cathode ray was deflected in the opposite direction. This proved that a cathode ray was a stream of negatively charged particles that would later be deemed electrons.

Are gamma rays affected by electric and magnetic fields?
Most cosmic rays would be deflected by a magnetic field, with the degree of deflection depending upon their mass and the strength of the field. Remember that cosmic rays are largely protons or atomic nuclei and as such most of them do carry a charge and hence would feel the force or influence of electric or magnetic fields. Secondary cosmic rays are partly composed of electrically neutral particles (like neutrons) which would not feel the influence of magnetic fields and hence would not be deflected.
If a variety of singly ionized atoms travel at the same speed through the magnetic field would you expect them all to be deflected by the same amount?
No, the deflection of ions in a magnetic field depends on their mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) rather than their speed. Heavier ions with larger mass-to-charge ratios will be deflected less than lighter ions with smaller mass-to-charge ratios. Therefore, ions traveling at the same speed but having different mass-to-charge ratios will be deflected by different amounts in the magnetic field.
