8. Complete the boxes with True (T) or False (F)
1 Positive and negative charges of the same charge receive force of the same magnitude when
moving inside a given magnetic field with the same speed.
2 The Earth’s magnetic poles coincide with its geographical poles.
3 Magnetic declination is the deviation of the axis of the Earth’s magnetic field with respect to its
geographical axis.
4 A circular conductor creates a circular magnetic field and a linear conductor

creates a linear magnetic field.
5 If we cut a bar magnet in half we will get a north and a south pole.
6 Magnetic field lines around a bar magnet always have a direction from the south pole to the north
pole of the magnet.

7 Any induction effect tends to oppose the change that caused it.
8  When a current carrying wire is placed with its axis at 900 to the direction of a magnetic field the
force applied by the field to it is zero.
9 It is impossible for a constant magnetic field to alter the speed of a charged particle.

16. A magnetron is a device used to generate microwave radiation. It makes use of fast
moving electrons inside a magnetic field.
The magnetron used in a microwave oven

emits electromagnetic waves are a
frequency of f=2450MHz.
What should be the strength of the
magnetic field in order to make electrons
move in circular paths with this
frequency?

17. In 1897 J.J. Thomson carried out an experiment in which he determined the ratio of
the charge to the mass of the electron. For his experiment he used a Cathode Ray Tube
(CRT) tube.
Inside the CRT tube the accelerating

potential is doing work on the electrons
accelerating them so their kinetic

energy is: mu 2 = eV

If u = then the electron will move in a straight line. Assume that V = 150V and

E = 6 106 NC −1 .

b) What magnitude of magnetic field will you need?
c) With this magnetic field, what will happen to the electron beam if you increase the
accelerating potential above 150 V?

to the wire towards the north-east and has a
magnitude of 1.2 T.

the force on a 1.00 m section of the rod
b) Keeping the rod horizontal how should we
direct it in order to get max force? What is
the force in this case?

Bainbridge mass spectrometer is E = 1.2 105Vm −1 and the
magnetic field in both regions is 0.540 T.
A stream of singly charged selenium ions moves in a circular path
with a radius of 31 cm in the magnetic field.

u0 = 1.41106 ms −1 .

compare to their speed as they exit the field?

22. A thin 50-cm-long metal bar with a mass of 750 g rests on, but is not attached to, two
metallic supports inside a uniform 0.450 T magnetic field as shown in the figure. A battery
and a 25-Ω resistor are connected to the supports.
a) What is the highest voltage the battery can

have without braking the circuit at the supports?
b) Assume that the battery voltage has the
max. value of part (a). if the resistor gets
partially short-circuited, decreasing its resistance
to 2.0-Ω, find the initial acceleration of the bar.
