Today you will look at magnetism and how it affects moving charges.
Lesson 5.3 - Magnetic Fields and Forces.
In this lesson, you will examine how magnetic fields are defined and how they produce a force on a charge moving through that magnetic field. This force is 3D in nature and we will learn how to determine the direction of vectors in 3D. This involves utilizing a tool used quite a bit in physics for understanding the third dimension. This tool is called the right hand rule.
Read through the notes and watch the videos below to learn how to do the examples. When you are finished, you can work on Assignment 5.3, which should be in your notes.
Lesson 5.4 - Magnetic Circular Motion.
In this lesson, we learn that because the magnetic force on a charge moving through a magnetic field is acting perpendicular to the direction of motion, this force will produce circular motion. This understanding will lead us into a type of technology called mass spectroscopy, when you can use this motion to help you determine the identity of unknown substances.
