Question
It is established that an electric current through a metallic conductor produces a magnetic field around it. Is there a similar magnetic field produced around a thin beam of moving (i) alpha particles, (ii) neutrons? Justify your answer.
✓
Answer
Magnetic field is produced by a current carrying conductor due to the motion of charge particles or electron.
- As, alpha particles are positively charged so there movement will also produce magnetic field.
- Neutrons do not carry any charge so their motion will not produce any magnetic field.
