Verbatim question for GR8677 #25
Electromagnetism}Lorentz Force

Recall the Lorentz Force, \vec{F}=q(\vec{E}+\vec{v}\times\vec{B}).

\vec{E} and \vec{B} are parallel. The particle is released from rest, so the Electric force would propel it. The resulting velocity would be parallel to the electric field, but since the magnetic field is also parallel to that, there would be no magnetic force contribution. The particle thus goes in a straight line.

It has been simply incredibly generous with you to provide openly what exactly many individuals would’ve marketed for an ebook to end up making some cash for their end, primarily given that you could have tried it in the event you wanted. subway surfers unblockedNEC

Yosun has the answer as 1 ohm, that 1/2 you\'re seeing is just a 1 with capital omega. pressure cleaningNEC

I feel that may be a captivating point, it made me suppose a bit. Thanks for sparking my pondering cap. Now and again I am getting such a lot in a rut that I just really feel like a record. makeup artist TampaNEC

This is how I got the correct answer, can someone confirm if it\'s viable method or if I just got lucky? \r\n\r\nWe\'re given a constant magnetic field, this means that according at Faraday\'s law, the curl of the electric field = 0. Since the electric field is what propels the charge, it must move in a straight path because there is no curl; there is no rotational aspect so it can\'t be any of the other answers. \r\nNEC

I did this one qualitatively using the right-hand rule. To find the force the B-field exerts on the particle, I first reasoned that the E-field would propel it on a vector parallel to the E-field. Pointing my fingers in that direction, it's impossible to curl them towards the B-field, since they're parallel. Therefore, the B-field doesn't act on the particle, and it should continue on its straight-line path.NEC

Could it be that on GR9677: #86 you meant cycloid instead of helical as in choice B instead of C? Thank you so much for your site. I love it!

You mean answer (D)

Note that if the fields were perpendicular to each other the electron would drift in a helical pattern as in choice (C). It seems ETS likes questions of this type (see: GR9677: #86)
