To determine whether a similar magnetic field is produced around a thin beam of moving alpha particles and neutrons, we need to analyze the properties of both particles. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify the Nature of Alpha Particles:** - Alpha particles are helium nuclei, which consist of 2 protons and 2 neutrons. - They carry a positive charge of +2e (where e is the elementary charge). ...
