An experimental magnetically levitated train is supported by magnetic repulsion forces exerted in a direction normal to the tracks. Motion of the train transverse to the tracks is prevented by lateral supports. Suppose that the 25,000-kg train is traveling at 25 m/s on a circular segment of a track of radius R = 150 m, and the bank angle of the track is 40°, what force must the magnetic levitation system exert to support the train, and what total force is exerted by the lateral supports?

When a charged particle moves perpendicularly to the direction of a uniform magnetic field, the direction of the magnetic force is perpendicular to both the direction of the magnetic field and the direction of the velocity of the charged particle. Accordingly, the charge begins to move in a circular path. Since the direction of the magnetic force is toward the center of the circular path the charged particle moves along, the magnetic force is a centripetal force (recall centripetal forces from chapter 5 of the text, covered in PHY 2010). A schematic of such motion is shown below. The "X"s represent the magnetic field that is directed into the plane of this screen. The direction of velocity and magnetic force lie within the plane of this screen and are at right angles to one another, as shown below.

A cyclotron is a device for accelerating charged particles to high speed as they follow an expanding spiral-like path (See LHC, NSRRC, or an MRI machine). 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 one does the latter? The magnetic field, since it exerts a force to the moving charge perpendicular to the charges' direction of motion. The electric field, since it exerts a force that accelerates the particle in the curved path of the facility. Not necessarily only one. Both contributes to the particles' curving of path as both exert force perpendicular to their velocity's direction. None of them. The curving of charges occur due to the design of the facility/device.
A charged particle moving through a magnetic field at right angles to the field with a speed of 30.7 m/s experiences a magnetic force of 2.98 x 10-4 N. Determine the magnetic force on an identical particle when it travels through the same magnetic field with a speed of 4.84 m/s at an angle of 32.2° relative to the magnetic field.
