- 7. 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.

- 25. A magnetic force cannot act on an electron
when it
a) is at rest.
b) moves parallel to magnetic field lines.

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.
