The question is...
A proton, neutron and electron, all with the same velocity, pass between the poles of a permanent magnet. Which is deflected most? And why? I really have no idea except i dont think its neutron. :(

In response to Paul B, would it be the electron because it is much lighter?

The neutron won't be deflected.
Both the proton and the electron will be deflected, in opposite directions. The deflecting force is proportional to current x field, so the force is the same size for both (why?)
Which is heavier, and which do you think will be more deflected by the same force?

i'm uncertain what's meant via changing the two measurements to teach that they are equivalent. Is there greater suggestion? which incorporate, is one measurement in centimeters and the different in millimeters? be happy to deliver me an email in case you elect greater help.
