Which of the following property of a proton can change while it moves freely in a magnetic field? (There may be more than one correct answer.)
(a) mass (b) speed
(c) velocity (d) momentum
(c) and (d)
When a proton enters an area of magnetic field, it experiences a magnetic force. As a result of the force, the path of the proton becomes circular. Therefore, its velocity and momentum change.
The magnetic field in a given region is uniform. Draw a diagram to represent it.
