What must the initial state of motion of a charged particle be if it will follow a helical path in a magnetic field?
a) It must be moving at an angle that is neither parallel to nor perpendicular to the magnetic field.
b) It must be moving parallel to the magnetic field.
c) It must be moving perpendicular to the magnetic field.
d) It must be moving in the direction opposite to the magnetic field.
e) It must be initially at rest when it is placed in the magnetic field.
Ans: a) It must be moving at an angle that is neither parallel to nor perpendicular to the magnetic field.

Sgr A* is believed to be the center of the Milky Way galaxy because I. it lies in the general direction of the center of the galaxy based on observations of globular clusters in the plane of the Milky Way. II. long-wavelength dust-penetrating images show it to be a region crowded with stars. III. orbits of stars around it indicate a mass several million times that of the Sun within a volume a few
light hours in size. IV. radio observations show it is a concentrated source at the center of swirling clouds of gas. a. I & II only b. II & III only c. I & IV only d. II & IV only e. All of I, II, III, & IV
