28. Magnetic Fields and Forces
Force on Moving Charges & Right Hand Rule
9PRACTICE PROBLEM
An alpha particle passes undeflected through a region with both electric and magnetic fields. This means that the net force on the particle is zero. An observer in the frame of the alpha particle would see the alpha particle stationary. How does the observer explain why the force on the alpha particle is zero?
