CAIE IGCSE Physics EXTENDED 4.5.4.3 Direction of the force on beams of
Practise predicting how beams of electrons or alpha particles deflect when they enter magnetic fields shown with poles or page symbols.
How this is tested
- determine force direction on electron or alpha beams crossing a magnetic field
- distinguish charged beams from neutral particles when deciding whether deflection occurs
- explain beam deflection using moving charge as a current in a magnetic field
