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.
What else can I help you with?
Earths magnetic field does not affect what?
Earth's magnetic field does not affect light or sound. It primarily interacts with charged particles such as electrons and protons in Earth's atmosphere and in space.
What causes the part of earths magnetic field called the magnetosphere to exist?
Earth's magnetic field (and the surface magnetic field) is approximately a magnetic dipole, with one pole near the north pole and the other near the geographic south pole. The Inner Van Allen Belt & Outer Van Allen Belt cause the magnetic field.
what particles are thrown off the suns corona that can affect earths magnetic field?
Solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are the particles that are thrown off the Sun's corona and can affect Earth's magnetic field. These events release energetic particles and electromagnetic radiation that can disturb the Earth's magnetosphere and cause geomagnetic storms.
How The solar wind can interact with Earths magnetic field to create powerful electrical currents that cause what near the poles?
When the solar wind interacts with Earth's magnetic field, it can cause a phenomenon known as the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) near the North Pole and Aurora Australis (Southern Lights) near the South Pole. The solar wind carries charged particles that are funneled towards the poles by Earth's magnetic field. When these particles collide with gases in Earth's atmosphere, they emit light which creates the colorful light displays in the sky.
How does the sun affect the earth's magnetic field?
Well, imagine the Earth's magnetic field is an umbrella, its a fairly sturdy umbrella so most of the Solar Wind is deflected off and around the Earth. But some of the Solar Wind gets past the magnetic field at our poles which is what causes Auroras. Solar Wind tends to rip at Earths magnetic field, it acts sort of like a flag on a windy day. Blasting and flailing in different directions as the Solar Wind rushes past it. There are a few good videos on utube if you want to check it out.
What are two effects of earths magnetic fields?
Earth's magnetic field can make magnets out of ferromagnetic material and it affects the movements of electrically charged particles in space.
Why would the earth cease to exist without the earths magnetic field?
There are certain high-energy particles electrically charged particles that are emitted from the sun and travel toward our planet. These particles are called Cosmic Rays. If they were allowed to strike the earth, they would kill all life on the planet. However, the earth's magnetic field deflects the vast majority of these particles, keeping them from hitting the planet. If the magnetic field was too small, it would not deflect enough of these Cosmic Rays. If the field was too strong, it would deflect the cosmic rays, but it would cause a deadly magnetic storm that would make life impossible!
When the northern lights and southern occur what interacts with earths magnetic field?
Energetic charged particles generated by the solar wind.
What effect does the earths magnetic field have on the intensity of cosmic rays striking the earths surface?
The Earth's magnetic field acts as a shield, deflecting charged particles (cosmic rays) away from the surface. This helps reduce the intensity of cosmic rays reaching the Earth's surface. However, cosmic rays can still penetrate the atmosphere at higher latitudes where the magnetic field is weaker.
Is it true that charged particles from the solar wind come closest to earth at the equator where earths magnetic field lines dip to earths surface?
No, charged particles from the solar wind are funneled towards the polar regions by the Earth's magnetic field. This results in the formation of the auroras near the poles rather than at the equator where the magnetic field lines are more parallel to the surface.
Earths magnetic field does not affect what?
Earth's magnetic field does not affect light or sound. It primarily interacts with charged particles such as electrons and protons in Earth's atmosphere and in space.
How is the aurora borealis connected to the solar flares?
When a solar flare is ejected from the sun it releases billions of positively charged particles (ionized) particles. When these particles hit the earths magnetic feild it produces the aurora borealis.
What is along the earths magnetic lines?
Objects such as compass needles, charged particles like electrons and protons, and solar wind are all influenced by Earth's magnetic field along its magnetic lines. These particles can be deflected or trapped by the field as they move through space.
What do particles from the sun sometimes interact with earths magnetic field to create what?
Particles from the sun sometimes interact with Earth's magnetic field to create the auroras, also known as the northern and southern lights. These dazzling light displays are caused by charged particles from the sun colliding with gases in Earth's atmosphere.
When the solar wind reaches earth charged particles are deflected from earth and trapped in two huge rings in earths magnetic field called what?
Those are the Van Allen belts.
Prevents charged particles from the sun from reaching the surface?
The Earth's magnetosphere acts as a protective shield, deflecting solar wind and charged particles from the sun. This helps to prevent these particles from directly reaching the surface and causing potential harm to living organisms and sensitive electronic systems on Earth.
What are the earths two kind of protection against solar winds?
Earth itself is largely protected from the solar wind by its magnetic field, which deflects most of the charged particles; however some of the charged particles are trapped in the Van Allen radiation belt. XxBaby Dee
