Motion of Charged Particles in a Magnetic Field<br />

1. Three particles move through a constant magnetic field and follow the paths shown in the<br />

drawing. Determine whether each particle is positively charged, negatively charged, or<br />

neutral. Give a reason for each answer.<br />

2. Three particles have identical charges and masses. They enter a constant magnetic field and<br />

follow the paths shown in the picture. Which particle is moving the fastest, and which is<br />

moving the slowest? Justify your answers.<br />
