Charged-particle motion in electric and magnetic fields, including circular paths; the motor effect on currents is in Chapter 39.

Mastery checklist

Know what success looks like.

  1. 01

    Choose a coordinate direction and state the initial conditions before calculating.

  2. 02

    Separate perpendicular components when the motion is two-dimensional.

  3. 03

    Check the sign, unit, and physical size of every displacement, velocity, and acceleration result.

Exam lens

Build, apply, check.

D.3 Motion in electromagnetic fields is identified as SL + HL in this curriculum map. Build the concept first, then practise selecting a model, showing working, and checking the final result.
