Question

Determine the direction of the force (if any) that will act on the charge in each of the following situations. Also, how do you use the right hand rule to determine the direction of the forces?

Determine the direction of the force (if any) that will act on the charge in each oflowing situations. Map Map A negative charge within an electric field that points upward. oositive charge within an electric field tnat points to the right. A negative charge moving out of the screen in a magnetic field that points to the left. A positive charge moving into the screen in a magnetic field that points downward. A negative charge moving to the left in an electric field that points into the screen. A negative charge moving to the right in a magnetic field that points to the rig to the leftinto the screen downwa tothe left) into the screen downward out of the screen upward i to the right zero force i Previous check Answer Next 1 Exit

Explanation / Answer

The electric force on a positive charge which is placed in an electric field is always along the direction of the electric field.

The electric force on a negative charge which is placed in an electric field is always opposite to the direction of the electric field.

direction of magnetic force on a positive charge:

keep the fingers of right hand along the direction of the motion of the positive charge, now curl the fingers towards the magentic field, then the streched thumb shows the direction of the magnetic force on the charge.

if the charge is negative, then the force is opposite to the direction of thumb

ANSWERS:

downwards

towards right
