How does increasing the velocity of a moving charge affect the strength of the magnetic field it produces?
The strength of the magnetic field decreases.
The strength of the magnetic field remains the same.
The strength of the magnetic field increases.
The strength of the magnetic field becomes zero.
A positive charge is moving to the right. At a point above the charge, the position vector points upwards. According to the right-hand rule, what is the direction of the magnetic field at that point?
Into the page
Out of the page
Upwards
Downwards
Two positive charges, A and B, are moving with the same velocity parallel to each other. At a point equidistant from both charges, the magnetic field due to charge A points into the page, and the magnetic field due to charge B also points into the page. What is the direction of the net magnetic field at that point?
Into the page
Out of the page
Zero
Parallel to the velocity vector
A proton with a charge moves perpendicularly through a uniform magnetic field with a velocity . What is the magnitude of the magnetic force acting on the proton?
0
A charged particle moves with velocity in a magnetic field . If the angle between and is 0 degrees, what is the magnitude of the magnetic force on the charge?
Zero
A charged particle moves at an angle relative to a magnetic field. If is neither 0, 90, nor 180 degrees, how does the magnetic force change as increases from just above 0 degrees to just below 90 degrees?
The magnetic force increases.
The magnetic force decreases.
The magnetic force remains constant.
The magnetic force first increases, then decreases.
A positive charge moves with a velocity and has a position vector . If and are orthogonal, and the resulting magnetic field is , how would the direction of change if was rotated 45 degrees towards ?
The direction of would not change.
The direction of would rotate 45 degrees in the same direction as .
The direction of would rotate 45 degrees in the opposite direction as .
The direction of would become parallel to .

In the Hall effect, what is the fundamental reason for the creation of a potential difference across the conductor?
The magnetic force deflects moving charges to one side of the conductor.
The electric field accelerates moving charges along the conductor.
The thermal energy of the conductor is converted into electrical energy.
The conductor becomes magnetized.
A rectangular conductor with width and thickness carries a current in a magnetic field that is perpendicular to the direction of the current. If the Hall voltage is , and the charge carrier density is , which of the following equations can be used to determine the magnetic field strength?
