A charged sphere is dropped from height H. Which of the following holds true for the sphere's magnetic field? O a. The sphere only has an electric field and no magnetic field. O b. The sphere's acceleration will be greatly affected by the force applied by the sphere's magnetic field. O C. As long as its charge does not change, the sphere's magnetic field will remain the same as it travels downward. d. The bigger H is, the greater the magnetic field gets when the sphere reaches the ground.

A particle’s path is bent when it passes through a region of non-zero magnetic field although its speed remains unchanged. This is very useful for “beam steering’’ in particle accelerators. Consider a proton of speed 4106m/s entering a region of uniform magnetic field 0.2 T over a 5-cm-wide region. Magnetic field is perpendicular to the velocity of the particle. By how much angle will the path of the proton be bent? (Hint: the particle comes out tangent to a circle.
An electron moving with a velocity v=(4.0i+3.0j+2.0k)106m/s enters a region where there is a uniform electric field and a uniform magnetic field. The magnetic field is given by v=(1.0i2.0j+4.0k)102T. If the electron travels through a region without being deflected, what is the electric field?
What creates a magnetic field? More than one answer may be correct. (a) a stationary object with electric charge (b) a moving object with electric charge (c) a stationary conductor carrying electric current (d) a difference in electric potential (e) a charged capacitor disconnected from a battery and at rest. Note: In Chapter 24, we will see that a changing electric field also creates a magnetic field.
