It is established that an electric current through a metallic conductor produces a magnetic field around it. Is there is similar magnetic field produced around a thin beam of moving (i) alpha particles, (ii) neutrons? Justify your answer.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(i) Yes, Alpha particles being positively charged constitute a current in the direction of motion.
(ii) No. The neutrons being electrically neutral constitute no current.
