General Physics 2-Exam 2: What is the direction of a Charged particle in a magnetic field with a velocity perpendicular to the field and a force directed to the center of the circular path?

Question

What is the direction of a Charged particle in a magnetic field with a velocity perpendicular to the field and a force directed to the center of the circular path?

Luisa Real · Accepted Answer

The magnetic force= centripetal acceleration, changing the direction of the velocity of the particle.  F= q v B= (mv^2)/ r
