Problem
A charged particle is launched so that the angle between its velocity and a uniform magnetic field gradually increases from 0° to 180°. Describe how the magnitude of the magnetic force on the particle varies over this entire range, identifying where the force is zero, where it is maximal, and how it changes in between.
