LEARN AND INVESTIGATE SOME OF THE ASPECTS RELATED TO THE ACTION OF THE MAGNETIC FORCE ON A CHARGE IN MOTION.

• With the two sliders p1 e p2 change the momentum of two particles and see how the curvature radius of their trajectory varies accordingly.
• Change the value of the magnetic field B: the stronger is the field, the shorter is the radius.
• In the purple input box define the value of the charge (Coulomb) and observe how the curvature changes.
• All the quantities are expressed in SI units (m, kg, s, C, T, ... )
• THE SLIT. Move the black points of the slit, so changing its orientation and width. Once the magnetic field and the charges of the particles are fixed, the slit acts as a filter, selecting particles with momentum inside a certain range. This is a method used in nuclear physics to have monochromatic beams.
