The right-hand rule allows one to find a property of the interaction of a magnet

Question

The right-hand rule allows one to find a property of the interaction of a magnetic field with a charged particle. The right-hand rule applied to moving charges. a. Results in positive charges moving clockwise. b. Results in negative charges moving clockwise. c. Can be used for positive charges only. d. Gives the direction of the force on a charge moving in a magnetic field. A sensitive ammeter is connected to a wire loop and placed within the magnetic field of a strong horseshoe magnet. The ammeter shows a deflection when: a. The wire is moved parallel to the field b. The wire is moved perpendicularly to the field c. Neither wire nor magnet is moving. d. The wire's axis is parallel to the field.

Explanation / Answer

1.The right-hand rule allows one to find a property of the interaction of a magnetic field with a charged particle. The right-hand rule applied to moving charges gives the direction of the force on a charge moving in a magnetic field.

2.The ammeter shows a deflection,when wire is moved perpendicular to field.
