Would an asteroid fragment generate a magnetic field when entering the earth's atmosphere?

Yes, it generate a magnetic field when it enters into the earth atmosphere.


Why photon cannot be deflected by electric and magnetic field?

a photon cannot be deflected by an electric or magnetic field because it has no charge and no magnetic poles like elementary particles such as the electron


Is the element neon magnetic or not?

Only some metals, with a special electron configuration could get magnetic. The most well known metals, that could get magnetic are Iron (Fe), Cobalt (Co) and Nickel (Ni). Also you can find metals in the category of rare earth elements, that could get magnetic. Neon could not get magnetic for two reasons: 1. It is a nonmetal. 2. It has a stable electron configuration.


When cathode rays are passed through a magnetic field which pole do they deflect towards north or south and why?

Cathode rays are electron beams. When they are moving in a magnetic field, they are deviated. The direction of their deflection is given by Fleming's left hand rule. The direction of deflection, current (which is the reverse of the direction of the electron beams) and field are all perpendicular to each other. Hence, the electron beam will deviate in a direction contained in a plane which is perpendicular to both the field and the electron beam. Hence, the cathode rays are neither defleted to the north nor south pole.

If the incident direction of an electron entering a magnetic field is?

If the incident direction of an electron is right, The electron travels a measured distance along the pathÊ prior to exiting the magnetic field.


Why magnetic lines are always travel in straight line?

The magnetic lines are always circular & emerging from north & entering in the south pole of magnet outside it. they are never straight.


What is beta tron?

Beta tron is a device for speeding up electrons to extremely high energies with the help of expanding magnetic field. The beta tron differs from cyclotron in the two fundamental respects - 1) in beta tron the electron are accelerated by expanding magnetic field 2)the circular orbit has a constant radius.


Why do electrons in a uniform magnetic field travel in a circular path?

It's because of how magnetic force is. The magnetic force is always perpendicular to both the magnetic field and the velocity of the electron, or any charged particle. If you draw x's on a piece of paper, representing the direction of the magnetic field into the paper, then draw a short vertical line up, representing the electron velocity, the magnetic force will be horizotal to the right. This causes the velocity to change direction a little toward the right. But now the force must change direction a little, etc., etc, until you get a circular path. BTW, you only get a circular path if the initial velocity is in the plane of the paper, perpendicular to the field. If the electron comes in at an angle from outside the paper the path will be a "screw" shape, circular and forward at the same time.


What is the force on a circular conductor in a magnetic field?

magnetic force


Which force field can accelerate an electron but never change its speed?

I would say a magnetic field. When an electron enters a magnetic field that is oriented perpendicular to its path of travel it causes the electron to loop in a circle. While the speed stays the same the velocity is constantly changing due to the circular motion. Hence same speed but undergoing an acceleration.


What is used to bend electrons in an electron microscope?

Magnetic lenses are used to control the electron beam in an electron microscope. The magnetic field produced by the magnetic lenses deflects the energetic electrons. They are typically called magnetic lenses because they deflect the electron beam like optical lenses deflect light.

What is electron effective mass?

it is the mass of an electron in the presence of an electric or magnetic field.

Since, a steel wire is bent into a semi circular arc ,the new magnetic moment will be M


Does sulfur have a magnetic property?

The element does have a magnetic moment. This is because there is one pair of electrons and two individual electron molecules in the valence shell. This is to say that the unpaired electron molecules create a magnetic moment. That is sulfur's magnetic property.


If a stationary electron sat inside a stationary magnetic field would the magnetic field cause the electron to move?

Stationary charge don't produce a magnetic field. because it has no velocity in it, without flow of electron we can't find electricity and for that we have no magnetic field for a stationary charge. It produce only electric field.
