Yes.

You must understand that magnetic fields induce electric fields 90 degrees out of phase (or perpendicular) to them, and vice versa.

A charged particle will want to move one way or another when put within an electric / magnetic field, because the field will provide a push or pull on that particle in a specific direction.

The easiest physical way to view this is with two magnets - imagine a small stationary magnet. If you take another magnet and hold it close to the stationary magnet, the second magnet will be creating a magnetic field that will either push the stationary magnet away or draw it closer. The same thing can be done by creating an electromagnet (push current through a coil of wire near the stationary magnet).

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.


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 is the basic unit of charge?

The SI derived unit of electric charge is the coulomb(C).In electrical engineering, it is also common to use the ampere-hour (Ah).In chemistry and particle physics, it is common to use the elementary particle charge (e) as a unit.Independent of units, the symbol Q often denotes charge.


Why is magnetic force 0 if angle between current flow and magnetic field is 0?

One answer to this is that there is no answer; it is just a fundamental property of, or equivalently part of the definition of, a magnetic field that it produces a force on a charged particle perpendicular to both the field and the particle's velocity. (Though the existence and properties of the magnetic field can be derived from the electric field in relativity.) However, if you're so inclined, this can also be seen by an argument from symmetry and energy conservation. Let's say there is a magnetic field parallel to a current flow, and let's say there's a force on the flowing particles which can be predicted mathematically from the field. Which direction is it in? By symmetry it must be either with or against the current. All directions perpendicular to the current and field are the same; there's no physical law that could choose between them. This also means the field is either doing work on the current or having work done on it. So which is it? Now consider how that magnetic field is generated. It must be generated by another current flowing perpendicular to the first one. Let the two currents be the same. Now we see that by a reflection and a rotation the two currents are interchangeable. So, if each generates a force on the other, either both the currents are doing work or both are having work done on them; either way this violates energy conservation and cannot be.

Can you accelerate a stationary charge particle in a magnetic field?

No, a stationary charge particle cannot be accelerated in a magnetic field. In order to be affected by a magnetic field, the charged particle must be moving.


Distinguish an electric from a magnetic field?

An electric field can created by a presence of a charge particle such as electron or proton. While a magnetic fieldis created due the relative motion of a charge particle with repeat to a stationary observer, motion of the charge particle.


How can the motion of a charge particle be used to distinguish between a magnetic field and an electric field in a certain region?

The motion of a charged particle in a magnetic field will experience a force perpendicular to both the particle's velocity and the magnetic field direction, causing it to move in a circular path. In contrast, in an electric field, the particle will accelerate in the direction of the field. By observing the path of the charged particle, one can determine whether it is in a magnetic field (circular motion) or an electric field (accelerating linear motion).


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.


What are electric and magnetic properties of particle?

Particles can have electric charge, which determines how they interact with electric fields. They can also have magnetic properties, such as magnetic moment, which describes how they respond to magnetic fields. These properties are important for understanding how particles behave in different environments and in the context of particle physics.


What must a charged particle be doing in order to experience a magnetic force?

A charged particle must be moving in a magnetic field in order to experience a magnetic force. If the particle is stationary, it will not experience a magnetic force.


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 is the difference between magnetic force and electric force, and how do they compare in terms of their effects on charged particles?

Magnetic force is the force that acts on a moving charged particle in a magnetic field, while electric force is the force that acts on a charged particle due to the presence of an electric field. The main difference between the two is that magnetic force only affects moving charged particles, while electric force can act on both moving and stationary charged particles. In terms of their effects on charged particles, magnetic force can change the direction of the particle's motion, while electric force can change both the direction and speed of the particle. Additionally, electric force is typically stronger than magnetic force for most everyday situations.


Why force exerted by a magnetic field on stationary elctric dipole is zero?

The force on a charge by a magnetic field is given by F = Bq v sin@ v - the speed of the charged particle with charge q. B - magnetic field induction in tesla. @ is the angle between the velocity vector and magnetic field vector. As dipole is stationary, the speed of charges is zero. So the force = 0 Hence the result.


What particle can not be accerlated by the electric or magnetic field in a particle accelerator?

Neutrinos cannot be accelerated by electric or magnetic fields in a particle accelerator because they have no electric charge and very small magnetic moment. This means they are unaffected by these fields and pass through them without being deflected.

How does the interaction between magnetic fields and electric fields influence the behavior of charged particles?

When magnetic fields and electric fields interact, they can affect the motion of charged particles. The magnetic field can cause the charged particles to move in a curved path, while the electric field can accelerate or decelerate the particles. This interaction is important in various phenomena, such as the motion of charged particles in a particle accelerator or the behavior of charged particles in a magnetic field.
