Explanation:
Potential difference V = W/q: work per unit charge. Electric field E = F/q: force per unit charge. Memory tip: 'Potential = work/charge (scalar); Field = force/charge (vector)'. Electrostatics definition frequently tested in competitive exams.
Explanation:
Atomic number Z = number of protons. Defines chemical element. Mass number = protons + neutrons. Isotopes same Z, different neutrons. Isobars same A, different Z.
Explanation:
The magnetic Lorentz force on a moving charge is F = q(v x B) = qvBsin(theta). If the particle moves completely parallel to the magnetic field, the angle theta is 0 degrees. Since sin(0) = 0, the magnetic force is absolutely zero. Experiencing no transverse force, the particle continues moving in a perfect straight line.
