Chapter 8, Problem 4C
The right-hand rule is a way to determine the direction of the magnetic field produced by moving charges. Imagine wrapping your right hand around the path of the charges so that the positive charges (or the current) flow from the little finger side of your fist to the thumb side (Figure 8.53). Then your fingers circle the path in the same direction as the magnetic field lines. Use this rule to verify the directions of the magnetic fields shown in Figures 8.8 and 8.10. How would you use the rule to find the direction of the magnetic field lines around a moving negative charge?

An electron moves with a speed of 5.0×107 m/s in the directions shown in (Figure 1) and (Figure 2) below. A 0.40 T magnetic field points in the positive x-direction. What is the magnitude of the magnetic force in (Figure 2)? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
A moving electron travels along the path shown (Figure 1), and passes through a region of magnetic field. There are no other charges present. The magnetic field is zero everywhere except in the gray region. Choose from the following directions (shown in figure 2) to answer the question: what is a possible direction (a – g) of the magnetic field in the region where the field is non-zero?
You have learned that a charge moving in an magnetic field can experience a magnetic force. Remarkably, anytime that a charged particle moves that particle produces its own magnetic field! The image below of magnetic compasses forming a circle around a current-carrying wire demonstrates the shape of the magnetic field. The magnetic field lines forms concentric circles around that wire. The strength of the field decreases with increasing distance away from the wire.
If the current in the wire is 1.15A, what is the magnitude of the magnitude of the magnetic field (in ?μT, or micro-Tesla) a distance of 0.88m away from the wire?
