P1_2 The Deflection of Bullets Using Magnetic Fields
Abstract
This article demonstrates how low strength magnetic fields can be used to curve the trajectory of a moving particle, requiring a field in the order of 10-9T to loop an electron. The theory is expanded to investigate whether such an arrangement would curve a bullet at its maximum velocity, in order to investigate the feasibility of using the magnetic field as a form of defence for an object. It is found that the magnetic field strength required is ~1018T, far too high to have any practical use.
