Question

We know that an electric current through a metallic conductor

produces a magnetic field around it. Explain giving reason

whether a similar magnetic field will be produced around a thin

beam of moving (i) alpha particles, (ii) neutrons. Name the rule

applied to determine the direction of magnetic field produced

around a current carrying straight conductor.

Answer 1

) Alpha particles being positively charged constitute a current in the direction of motion, therefore magnetic field will be produced around a thin beam of moving alpha particles.
(ii) The neutrons being electrically neutral constitute no current, so no magnetic field will be produced around a thin beam of moving neutrons.
