1.	It is established that an electric current through a metallic conductor produces a magnetic field around it. Is there a similar magnetic field produced around a thin beam of moving (i) alpha particles, (ii) neutrons? Justify your answer.
Answer» (i) alpha particles constitutes current in the direction of motion as they are positively charged constitutes . (ii) Neutron has no charge on them hence they do not conduct electricity
