A proton beam travels at a constant velocity to the right as shown below. Use a drawing to help describe the magnetic field created by the beam. [Appendix A] p+ 5.
The electromagnet on the right has its poles as labelled.
a. Draw in the battery (between terminals A and B) so that the magnet’s polarity will be as shown in the diagram. [Appendix A]
b. Draw the magnetic field lines produced around the electromagnet.

Determine the magnetic field strength acting on a positron travelling at 7.31 x 107 m/s experiences a magnetic force of 5.38 x 10-13 N. [0.0460T]
The magnetic field strength is 0.0460T.

A beam of alpha particles is accelerated across a potential difference of 7.50 KV. They are then passed perpendicularly through a magnetic field and turn a circle with a radius of 15.1 cm.
Determine the magnetic field strength. [0.117 T]
The magnetic field strength is 0.117 T.
