Question
An alpha particle enters a uniform magnetic field as shown. The direction of force experienced by the alpha particle is ______.
Options
towards right
into the page
towards left
out of the page
Solution
An alpha particle enters a uniform magnetic field as shown. The direction of force experienced by the alpha particle is out of the page.
Explanation:
According to Fleming's Left-Hand Rule, the current flows in the direction of the alpha particle, the field points in the direction of the paper's right side, and the force is directed out of the paper by the thumb.
