4 Days to go!!!

So today was simple and straight forward.

We were given out a handout for Electric and Magnetic Current.

We learned about the direction of a Force on a Current Carrying Wire, and read further into that. We learned again about the right hand rules.

Two things we were told to explicitly remember about the motion of a charged particle in a magnetic field were:

1. The charge must be moving. A Magnetic field will not influence the motion of a charged particle at rest.

2. The velocity of the moving charge must have a component that is perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field.

We were then told to work on the Moving Charges Worksheet. Questions 1 - 10.
A Tip from Ms.K. If you get stuck at one, start at number 10 and work backwards.

The next scribe will be Eric!
