 +Conceptual Questions:
 +  - What shape is the magnetic field around the moving point charge? (Hint: make multiple observation points and move them around)
 +  - How is magnetic field different than electric field?
 +  - How would you calculate the magnetic field? (Pick an observation point and do a sample calculation)
 +  - What is a cross product? What role does it serve in the magnetic field equation? 
 +  - What is a "normal" size for magnetic fields? (Look up how big is Earth's magnetic field, fridge magnet, etc.)
 +  - What assumptions did you make for the problem? How would you evaluate your answer?

 ==== Project 9B: Sorting Hawkions ==== ==== Project 9B: Sorting Hawkions ====
 Since your team was so successful at creating the magnetic field detector for the Hawkions, the Lakeviewians have now hired you to analyze other characteristics of the Hawkions. The Hawkions appear to have a variety of masses, so you start by trying to sort the Hawkions by mass for further analysis (using a mass spectrometer). Before building the spectrometer, your team is asked to develop a model of the spectrometer. The higher ups have specified that they would like to use a constant magnetic field of 2 T and to isolate the effects of the B-field within the magnetic housing box, but they are unsure what direction the magnetic field should be relative to the catching plate. Below is the beginning of a model that was developed by another team that mysteriously disappeared. Since your team was so successful at creating the magnetic field detector for the Hawkions, the Lakeviewians have now hired you to analyze other characteristics of the Hawkions.

 +Conceptual questions: 
 +  - How is the right hand rule for magnetic field different from the right hand rule for magnetic force? 
 +  - Which of your particles are the heavier particles and which are the lighter ones? How do you know? 
 +  - What does an "if statement" in the code do? 
 +  - You calculated the force in the code, which has to be from something and on something. What is the force from and what is it on in the code? 
 +  - Why do you get circular motion for the particles? 
 +  - How would you calculate the magnetic force on a charge? (Pick an magnetic field & charge velocity and do a sample calculation)
