A negatively-charged particle travels parallel to magnetic field lines within a region of space. Which one of the following statements concerning the force exerted on the particle is true? The force accelerates the particle. The force is perpendicular to the direction in which the particle is moving. The force is directed perpendicular to the magnetic field. The force has a magnitude of zero newtons. The force slows the particle.
When a charged particle moves perpendicularly to the direction of a uniform magnetic field, the direction of the magnetic force is perpendicular to both the direction of the magnetic field and the direction of the velocity of the charged particle. Accordingly, the charge begins to move in a circular path. Since the direction of the magnetic force is toward the center of the circular path the charged particle moves along, the magnetic force is a centripetal force (recall centripetal forces from chapter 5 of the text, covered in PHY 2010). A schematic of such motion is shown below. The "X"s represent the magnetic field that is directed into the plane of this screen. The direction of velocity and magnetic force lie within the plane of this screen and are at right angles to one another, as shown below.

The solar wind is a thin, hot gas given off by the sun. Charged particles in this gas enter the magnetic field of the earth and can experience a magnetic force. Suppose a charged particle traveling with a speed of 7.26 x 106 m/s encounters the earth's magnetic field at an altitude where the field has a magnitude of 1.75 x 10-7 T. Assuming that the particle's velocity is perpendicular to the magnetic field, find the radius of the circular path on which the particle would move if it were (a) an electron and (b) a proton.
