PHYSICAClass 12 Physics simulations · Moving Charges and Magnetism
Charged particle in a field
Watch a charged particle curve through a uniform magnetic field.
What to notice
The magnetic force bends the path without changing the particle’s speed.
Key relation
r = mv / |q|B
Try this
Switch between electron and proton. Compare their physical orbit radii.
What you can change
- Particle speed: 1 to 8 ×10⁶ m/s
- Field strength: 2 to 20 mT
- Particle: choose Electron, Proton
- Field direction: choose Into the page, Out of the page
