Syllabus
2021
Objective
4.4.106
Level
A2

- Force on a moving charge in a magnetic field

Be able to use the equation F = Bqv sinθ and apply Fleming’s left-hand rule to charged particles moving in a magnetic field.

Use - force on a moving charge in a magnetic field to connect the rule to the data and decision in the question.

This matters because - force on a moving charge in a magnetic field determines what can be inferred or chosen; begin with the stated conditions and keep the conclusion tied to the evidence.

Example: apply - force on a moving charge in a magnetic field to one small, clearly defined case, show the key step or comparison, and explain the result in words.

Boundary: - Force on a moving charge in a magnetic field is not a universal recommendation. Check the syllabus scope, assumptions, units and the limits of the evidence before generalising.
