A motor coil has 100 turns, and each side has 0.05 m in a 0.1 T field. It carries 0.8 A. What force acts on one side, Bo?
A motor coil has 25 turns, and each side has 0.03 m in a 0.4 T field. It carries 1.2 A. What force acts on one side, Esme?
A proton moves straight across a magnetic field. What does the field do to its path, Jun?
- Speeds it up in a straight line
- Leaves it unchanged
- Bends it into a curve
A proton sits still in a magnetic field. What magnetic force acts on it, Kira?
- A force toward north
- A force toward south
- None
A magnetic force keeps bending a moving electron's path. What happens to its speed, Luz?
- It stays the same
- It keeps falling
- It keeps rising
Milo says a wire lying along magnetic field lines feels the biggest force. Agree or disagree?
- Agree: along the field is strongest
- Agree: the field pushes it along
- Disagree: it feels none
Noah says a current running along a field still gets pushed sideways. Agree or disagree?
- Disagree: it must cross the field
- Agree: any current in a field is pushed
- Agree: fields push along their lines
