Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The magnetic force on a charge depends on the velocity component perpendicular to the magnetic field (A), the magnitude of the charge (B), and the magnitude of the magnetic field (C). Additionally, the direction of the force is dependent on the sign of the charge (D). Therefore, three of the choices (A, B, C) are correct.
