Figure 28-22 shows three situations in which a positively charged particle moves at velocity \(\vec v\) through a uniform magnetic field \(\vec B\) and experiences a magnetic force \(\vec F_{B}\). In each situation, determine whether the orientations of the vectors are physically reasonable. Text Transcription: vec v vec B vec F_B

Question
Figure 28-25 shows the path of a particle through six regions of uniform magnetic field, where the path is either a half-circle or a quarter-circle. Upon leaving the last region, the particle travels between two charged, parallel plates and is deflected toward the plate of higher potential. What is the direction of the magnetic field in each of the six regions?
Solution
The first step in solving 28 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Figure 28-25 shows the path of a particle through six regions of uniform magnetic field, where the path is either a half-circle or a quarter-circle. Upon leaving the last region, the particle travels between two charged, parallel plates and is deflected toward the plate of higher potential. What is the direction of the magnetic field in each of the six regions?
From the textbook chapter Magnetic Fields you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
