If a cosmic ray proton approaches the Earth from outer space along a line toward the center of the Earth that lies in the plane of the equator, in what direction will it be deflected by the Earth’s magnetic field? What about an electron? A neutron?
Inside a motor, 30.0 A passes through a 250-turn circular loop that is 10.0 cm in radius. What i5 the magnetic field strength created at its center?
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.
A proton of speed v=6105m/s enters a region of uniform magnetic field of B = 0.5 T at an angle of q = 30° to the magnetic field. In the region of magnetic field proton describes a helical path with radius R and pitch p (distance between loops.) Find R and p.

A mass spectrometer is being used to separate common oxygen16 from the much rarer oxygen18, taken from a sample of old glacial ice. (The relative abundance of these oxygen isotopes is related to climatic temperature at the time the ice was deposited.) The ratio of the masses of these two ions is 16 to 18, the mass of oxygen-16 is 2.661026kg, and they are singly charged and travel at 5.00106m/s in a 1.20T magnetic field. What is the separation between their paths when they hit a target after traversing a semicircle?
A uniform horizontal wire with a linear mass density of 0.50 g/m carries a 2.0-A current. It is placed in a constant magnetic field with a strength of 4.0 103 T.

Neglect the magnetic field of Earth.
Explain why the magnetic field would not be unique (that is, not have a single value) at a point in space where magnetic field lines might cross. (Consider the direction of the field at such a point.)
