Charged particles traveling through a uniform magnetic field do not travel in a straight line because the electromagnetic force (EMF) continually "pushes" them off a linear path. At the poles where the earth's magnetic fields are the strongest, the result is beautiful dancing spiral patterns of the northern lights (aura borealis). 29.2.8 aura borealis.JPG How do you figure out the direction of circular motion? In the picture below, take just one point on the positive charge's path and apply the RHR. The magnetic field B is directed out of the page, and about halfway into the charge's path, the direction of the charge's motion is downward. The resulting force is directed to the [select] . 29.2.9 circular motion.JPG In the gif below, a positive charge is circling aro
