Question
Write the expression for the magnetic force acting on a charged particle moving with velocity n in the presence of magnetic field B. A neutron, an electron and an alpha particle moving with equal velocities, enter a uniform magnetic field going into the plane of the paper as shown. Trace their paths in the field and justify your answer.

Answer

$\overrightarrow{\text{F}} = \text{q}(\overrightarrow{\text{v}}\times\overrightarrow{\text{B}})$
$\text{F}= \text{qvB}\sin\theta$ and Force (F) acts perpendicular to the plane containing $\overrightarrow{\text{v}} \text{and} \overrightarrow{\text{B}}$

Justification: Direction of force experienced by the particle will be according to the Fleming’s Left-hand rule.

The gravitational potential energy of a two particle system is derived in this chapter as $\text{U}=-\frac{\text{Gm}_1\text{m}_2}{\text{r}}.$ Does it follow from this equation that the potential energy for $\text{r}=\infty$ must be zero? Can we choose the potential energy for $\text{r}=\infty.$ to be 20J and still use this formula? If no, what formula should be used to calculate the gravitational potential energy at separation r?
