Question #1
A charged particle (q) moves in a straight line parallel to an external magnetic field (B) through a region of space. Therefore, assuming that there is no other field present close-by, we may conclude that the charged particle (b) has a zero component perpendicular to the particle’s velocity (c) has a zero component parallel to the particle’s velocity in that region
A.   finds a zero component of B in the direction of its motion.
B.   experiences a high magnetic force (FB) due to the field B.
C.   encounters no magnetic field (B = 0)
D.   experiences zero magnetic field-force (FB) .
Question #2
A proton (with mass mp = 1.67 x 10-27 kg, charge qp = 1.6 x 10-19 C) moving with a speed of 0.80 x 105 m/s, enters the Earth’s magnetic field (B= 55.0 μμT, Northbound). If the proton moves eastward, the magnetic force acting on it should be
A.   7.04 x 10-19 N downward
B.   7.04 x 10-19 N upward
C.   8.08 x 10-16 N downward
D.   7.04 x 10-19 N West-bound
Question #3
A charged particle, after entering a constant magnetic field B, starts moving freely along a circular path in the magnetic field applied perpendicular to the particle’s velocity (v). What do you conclude about the particle’s kinetic energy (KE)?
A.   KE decreases when magnetic force (FB) is perpendicular to the motion (v).
B.   KE increases under the constant magnetic force FB.
C.   KE remains unaltered as v and FB are perpendicular to each other
D.   KE and magnetic force FB are not correlated.
Question #4
Consider a magnetic field (B) in a place on Earth surface, directed parallel to Earth’s surface, pointing north, and ∣∣B∣∣ = 2.20 x 10-4 T. A metal cable attached to a space station stretches radially outwards 2.50 km. What would be the potential difference developed between the ends of the cable when travels eastward on Earth at a speed (v) = 6.5 km/s.
A.   3.58 kV
B.   4.79 kV
C.   444.0 V
D.   400.0 V
