A strong magnet lifts a paper clip. Compared with the force the magnet exerts on the clip, the force the clip exerts on the magnet is

a) much less.b) slightly less.c) the same.d) slightly more.

Explanation:This is Newton's third law. In the interaction between the paper clip and the magnet, both forces are equal and opposite.

A magnetic force cannot act on an electron when it

a) is at rest.b) moves parallel to magnetic field lines.c) Both of these.d) None of these.

Explanation:A force is exerted on charged particles only when they move at an angle to magnetic field lines. The force is greatest when motion is at right angles to the magnetic field.
