A particle’s path is bent when it passes through a region of non-zero magnetic field although its speed remains unchanged. This is very useful for “beam steering’’ in particle accelerators. Consider a proton of speed 4106m/s entering a region of uniform magnetic field 0.2 T over a 5-cm-wide region. Magnetic field is perpendicular to the velocity of the particle. By how much angle will the path of the proton be bent? (Hint: the particle comes out tangent to a circle.
An electron is projected into a uniform magnetic field (0.5i+0.8k)T with a velocity of (3.0i+4.0j)106 m/s . What is the magnetic force on the electron?

An electron in a TV CRT moves with a speed at 6.00107m/s, in a direction perpendicular to the Earth’s field, which has a strength of 5.00105T. (a) What strength electric field must be applied perpendicular to the Earth’s field to make the election moves in a straight line? (b) If this is done between plates separated by 1.00 cm, what is the voltage applied? (Note that TVs are usually surrounded by a ferromagnetic material to shield against external magnetic fields and avoid the need for such a correction.)

A charged particle is moving perpendicular to a magnetic field in a circle with a radius r. (i) An identical particle enters the field, with v perpendicular to B, but with a higher speed than the first particle.

(ii) The magnitude of the magnetic field is increased. From the same choices, compare the radius of the new circular path of the first particle with the radius of its initial path.
