have with questionsrelated to the force on a charged particle in an external magnetic field:Question (4): A particle with charge +q and speed v enters a region with uniform magnetic fieldof magnitude B pointed opposite to the direction of the particle's initial velocity as shown below.How will the motion of the particle be affected as it moves through this region? Page 13.718.9In response to the question (4) above, students performed significantly better on the post-testcompared to pre-test. The most common incorrect response to question (4) was option (c)followed by options (d) and (e). Interviewed students were asked such questions in the context ofa lecture-demonstration related to the effect of bringing a powerful bar

  Region Flow Separation Figure 9. Gradual step flow model exampleThe experiment clearly shows that the flow accelerates as the width of the channel decreases.This is a demonstration of continuity. The incompressible continuity law states that:Where Q is the flow rate, A is the cross sectional area and u is the velocity. The vector field canalso be plotted as can be seen in Figure 10.

Used to Load BridgeNewA 1000lb Q-Test tensile/compression machine was adapted for use in the bridge testing. Thebottom grip is removed and a support structure put in its place. This structure has a span of 22inches to accommodate the 24 inch long bridge. The upper grip is replaced with a welded steelU- shape. On the bottom of the U are openings for insertion of the steel rod(s). The machine isthen put into compression mode at a constant speed. The software controlling the machine isTestworks 3 from MTS. The loading is much smoother than before and the bridge top staysparallel to the ground. Since using this new method, the students are happier with the testingprocedure. More ‘A’ grades have resulted than with the old tester. The new tester is
