Class members use mathematics in order to better understand magnetic forces and their interaction on charged particles. After a demonstration of the interaction between a magnet and an electron beam using a CRT computer monitor, learners tackle example problems relating to magnetic fields and particle motion.

Concepts

magnetic fields, magnets, magnetic force, vectors, cross products, magnetic resonance imaging, technology resources

Additional Tags

electron beam, magnetic fields, magnetic force

Instructional Ideas

  • Divide the class into groups and have them research and present information on the magnetic force on a charged particle, the motion of a charged particle in a magnetic field, and the magnetic force on a current carrying wire

Classroom Considerations

  • To demonstrate the deflection of an electron beam, you will need to find an old CRT computer monitor
  • The class should be familiar with multiplying with vectors
  • The third of a 14-part series

Pros

  • The lesson plan includes a set of homework problems and a quiz
  • The answer keys show the work needed to arrive at the answer

Cons

  • The lesson plan provides lecture information but does not lay out the lecture for the teacher
