- Drag your mouse (slightly down and left works well) so that the directions of all three vectors are visible.
- Note the sign of the charge and verify that the vectors are consistent with the right-hand rule.
What will happen if you increase the magnitude of the charge? |
|  | A) | Only the acceleration vector will get longer. |
|  | B) | Only the acceleration vector will get shorter. |
|  | C) | Both the velocity and acceleration vectors will get longer. |
|  | D) | Both the velocity and acceleration vectors will get shorter. |
|  | E) | Everything will stay the same. |

2 |  |  What will happen if you make the charge positive and increase the magnitude? |
|  | A) | Only the acceleration vector will get longer, in the opposite direction as before. |
|  | B) | Only the acceleration vector will get longer, in the same direction as before. |
|  | C) | The acceleration will remain zero. |

3 |  |  What will happen if you decrease the magnitude of the magnetic field? |
|  | A) | Only the acceleration vector will get longer. |
|  | B) | Only the acceleration vector will get shorter. |
|  | C) | Only the magnetic field vector will get shorter. |
|  | D) | Only the magnetic field vector will get longer. |
|  | E) | Both the magnetic field and acceleration vectors will get longer. |
|  | F) | Both the magnetic field and acceleration vectors will get shorter. |

4 |  |  What will happen if you increase the magnitude of the magnetic field in the opposite direction from before? |
|  | A) | Both the magnetic field and acceleration vectors will get longer in the same directions as before. |
|  | B) | The magnetic field will get longer in the opposite direction as before while the acceleration will get longer in the same direction as before. |
|  | C) | Both the magnetic field and acceleration vectors will get longer in the opposite directions as before. |
|  | D) | Both the magnetic field and acceleration vectors will get longer in the opposite directions as before while the velocity vector also reverses direction. |

5 |  |  Given the present situation (of charge, field, and velocity), describe the motion of the particle? |
|  | A) | The charge will move in a circular path, clockwise as viewed from above. |
|  | B) | The charge will move in a circular path, counterclockwise as viewed from above. |
|  | C) | The charge will move in an elliptical path, clockwise as viewed from above. |
|  | D) | The charge will move in an elliptical path, counterclockwise as viewed from above. |
|  | E) | The charge will move in an helical path, spiraling along the direction of the magnetic field. |
|  | F) | The charge will move in an helical path, spiraling in the opposite direction of the magnetic field. |
