A) follow a spiralpath.
B) move in a straight line.
C) move along a parabolic path.
D)follow a circular path.

A charged particle is injected into a uniform magnetic field such that its velocity vector is perpendicular to the magnetic field vector. Ignoring the particle's weight, the particle will follow a circular path.

Option D

Explanation:

Magnetic force causes charged particles to move in spiral paths. The Particle accelerators keep the protons to follow circular paths when it is in the magnetic field. Velocity has a change in direction but magnitude remains the same when this condition exists.

The magnetic force exerted on the charged particle is given by the formula:

where

q is the charge

v is the velocity of the particle

B is the magnetic field

is the angle

In this problem, the velocity is perpendicular to the magnetic field vector, hence

= and sin =sin 90 degree = 1.

So applying the formula,

the force is simply

Also, the force is perpendicular to both B and v and so according to the right-hand rule, we have:

This means that the force acts as a centripetal force, so it will keep the charged particle in a uniform circular motion.

so here is the information for current research:

-nrel's geothermal analysts, scientists, and engineers perform a full range of research from developing advanced methods of locating and accessing geothermal resources to exploring innovative technologies to extract and produce clean energy from the heat of the earth

and here is the information for the technology of geothermal energy:

-it's clean and sustainable

-resources of geothermal energy range from the shallow ground to hot water and hot rock found a few miles beneath the earth's surface, and down even deeper to the extremely high temperatures of molten rock called magma

-almost everywhere, the shallow ground or upper 10 feet of the earth's surface maintains a nearly constant temperature between 50° and 60°f (10° and 16°c)

-geothermal heat pumps can tap into this resource to heat and cool buildings

-a geothermal heat pump system consists of a heat pump, an air delivery system (ductwork), and a heat exchanger-a system of pipes buried in the shallow ground near the building

-in the winter, the heat pump removes heat from the heat exchanger and pumps it into the indoor air delivery system

-in the summer, the process is reversed, and the heat pump moves heat from the indoor air into the heat exchanger

-the heat removed from the indoor air during the summer can also be used to provide a free source of hot water
