Any of the above
The units for magnetic field are

Geophysicists today generally attribute the existence of the Earth's magnetic field to which of the following?
Convection currents within the liquid interior
A current in a solenoid coil creates a magnetic fireld inside that coil. The field strength is directly proportional to
Current
Electrical charges and magnetic poles have many similarities but one differnce is
A magnetic pole cannot be isolated
The current in a long wire creates a magnetic field in the region around the wire. How is the stregth of the fiekd at distance r from the wire center related to the magnitude of the field?
Field inversely proportional to r
The force exerted on a current - carrying wire located in an external magnetic filed is directlu proportional to which of the following?
Filed strength or Current strength
A current in a long, straight wire produces a magnetic field. The magnetic field lines
Form circles that go around the wire
Consider two long, straight parallel wires, each carrying a current I. If the currents are flowing in opposite directions
The two wires will repel each other
Two insulated curret - carrying straight wires of equal length are arranged in the lab so that Wire A carries a curret northward and Wire B carries a current eastward, the wires crossing at their midpoints separated inly by their insulation. Of the following statments are true?
There are forces, but the net force on each wire is zero. [arrows represent force created from the field
A solenoid can also be called an electromagnet.
True
A solenoid will act like a bar magnet having a north and south pole.
True
Magnetic field lines in a bar magnet are directed out of the north pole and into the south pole of the magnet.
True
The needle of a compass will point in a direction parallel to the magnetic field lines.
True
The magnetic filed of the Earth is believed responsible for which of the following?
Deflection of charged cosmic rays
A proton is releassed such that its initial velocity is from right to left across this page. The proton's path, however, is deflected in a direction toward the bottom edge of the page due to the presence of a uniform magnatic field. What is the firection of this field?
Into the page
In a mass spectrometer, an ion will have a smaller radius for its circular path if
Its charge is greater
When a magnetic field causes a charged particle to move in a circular path, the only quantity listed below which the magnetic force changed significantly as the particle goes around in a circle is the particle's
Momentum
A current in a solenoid with N turns creates a magnetic field at the center of that loop. The field strength is directly proportional to
Number of turns in the loop, or current strenght
A proton moves across the Earth's equator direction. At this point the Earth's magnetic field has a direction due north and i parallel to the surface. What is the direction of the force acting on the proton at this instant?
Out of the Earth's surface
The direction of the force on a current carrying wire located in an extenal magnetic field is which of the following?
Perpendicular to the current or Perpendicular to the field
When a moving charge particle is placed in a magnetic field so that the velocity is perpendicular to the field the resulting motion will be a helical path.
Perpendicular to the velocity of a charged particle, the particle will undergo circular motion.
When trying to find the direction of the force produced by a magnetic field on a moving electron you use the left hand rule.
Right hand rule
The path of a charged particle moving parallel to a uniform magnetic field will be
Straight line
The split ring contacts in a motor are called the armature for a
commutator
