62. Why are northern Canada residents bombarded by more intense cosmic radiation than Mexico residents?
65. Your study partner claims that an electron always experiences a force in an electric field, but not always in a magnetic field. Do you agree? Why or why not?
68. A cyclotron is a device for accelerating charged particles to high speed as they follow an expanding spiral-like path. The charged particles are subjected to both an electric field and a magnetic field. One of these fields increases the speed of the charged particles, and the other field causes them to follow a curved path. Which field performs which function?
