In the LHC, there are 1232 components responsible for deflecting the protons, but only 8 responsible for accelerating them. Why is there such a big difference? What do we even mean by deflection and acceleration? This #TeachingTuesday video is the first chapter of our Electromagnetic Adventures miniseries. We’ll talk about electromagnetic fields, how to control a beam of electrically charged particles and how to design a particle accelerator like the LHC.

As part of the education portfolio of #CERNScienceGateway, the #CERNSolvayEducation programme was launched by CERN jointly with @SolvayGroup for the #STEMeducation of highschoolers. It is designed for teenagers who want to go beyond highschool physics and get an introduction to CERN #physics and #technology. In each video, you can test your understanding by answering quiz questions. If you are at least 16 years old, you can enrol for free in the online CERNSolvay Education Programme towards obtaining a digital certificate, which will allow you to apply for a CERNSolvay residential student camp.
