Question #80186

A charge particle moves through a region of uniform magnetic field. Is the momentum of the field affectd?

Expert's answer

The momentum of the system consisting of the particle and the field, is constant, the particle’s momentum changes, if it enters at any angle not equal to zero (or 180˚ etc.) with respect to magnetic induction, then the momentum of the field changes too, i.e. the momentum of the field is affected.

The answer:
The momentum of the field is affected in case the particle enters at any angle not equal to zero (or 180˚ etc.) with respect to magnetic induction.
