The magnetic field that occurs when the charge on the capacitor is increasing with time is shown at right as vectors tangent to circles. The radially outward vectors represent the vector potential giving rise to this magnetic field in the region where x> 0. The vector potential points radially inward for x < 0.
The simplest case occurs when a charged particle moves perpendicular to a uniform B -field (Figure 11.4.1). If the field is in a vacuum, the magnetic field is the dominant factor determining the motion. Since the magnetic force is perpendicular to the direction of travel, a charged particle follows a curved path in a magnetic field.
Electric and magnetic fields both exert forces on charged particles. The motion of charged particles in these fields can be determined and used in particle accelerators. A cyclotron has two D-shaped chambers (knowns as 'dees') which are in a strong vertical magnetic field.
If the strength of the magnetic field increases in the direction of motion, the field will exert a force to slow the charges and even reverse their direction. This is known as a magnetic mirror. A cyclotron is a type of particle accelerator in which charged particles accelerate outwards from the center along a spiral path.
Magnetic forces can cause charged particles to move in circular or spiral paths. Particle accelerators keep protons following circular paths with magnetic force. Cosmic rays will follow spiral paths when encountering the magnetic field of astrophysical objects or planets (one example being Earth’s magnetic field).
There is a strong magnetic field perpendicular to the page that causes the curved paths of the particles. The radius of the path can be used to find the mass, charge, and energy of the particle. So, does the magnetic force cause circular motion? Magnetic force is always perpendicular to velocity, so that it does no work on the charged particle.
The force when cutting a magnetic field acts perpendicular to the direction of travel of the particle and therefore changes as the particle travels in a circular path.
