Three identical particles labeled A, B, and C enter a region of space where the magnetic field points away from the viewer perpendicular to the plane of the paper in the drawing in the next column. The particles’ velocities have the same magnitude and all lie in the plane of the paper, but they have the different directions shown. Which particle experiences the largest magnetic force? Answer A, B, or C, or choose from the answers below.





A.A

B.B

C.C

D. Both A and C.

E. The force magnitude has the same nonzero magnitude for all three particles.

F. The magnetic force on all three particles is zero.
