4.Charged particle moving in a magnetic field.
Step 1. Identify the objects needed for the simulation.
The magnetic field will be an object.
The charged particle is the second object.
Step 2. Create the magnetic field.
Select FIELD from the CONTROL window.
Type the name of the field e.g. Bfield.
Type the Fx, Fy, Fz components of the force acting on a particle due to the above field.
Assume that the y axis is at right angles to the surface.
For Fx -charge*vy*10
For Fy -charge*vx*10
For Fz 0
Type the name of the quantity the field acts on, in this case type charge, and press Enter.
Step 3. Use the PARTICLE button to create a particle
Create the particle.
Select PARTICLE type the name of the particle e.g. weight.
Type initial position components of the weight 50, 100, 50
Type initial velocity components of the weight 0, 0, 0
Type the value for its mass 5
Type coefficients for the velocity and force displayed vectors 1, 1
These coefficients are used only for display purposes.
Type the color for the trace of the particle 12 accepts 1-15.
Finally create any quantities the particle will have. In this example the particle will have charge, type its value 1.
Step 4. Create any graphs you want to be displayed, save the simulation, then run it.
