37 A wire is placed at right angles to a uniform magnetic field.
wire
magnetic field
There is a current in the wire and it experiences a force.
Beams of alpha-particles, beta-particles and neutrons are fired into the magnetic field in the same
direction as the conventional current in the wire.
Which beams experience a force that is initially in the same direction as the force experienced by
the current-carrying wire?
alpha-particles beta-particles neutrons
A ✓ ✗ ✓
B ✓ ✗ ✗
C ✗ ✓ ✓
D ✗ ✓ ✗
key
✓= beam experiences a force in the same direction
✗ = beam does not experience a force in the same direction
