4.Moving Charges and Magnetism
easy

A charge $q$ moves in a region where electric field and magnetic field both exist, then force on it is

A

$q \overrightarrow{ E }+ q (\overrightarrow{ V } \times \overrightarrow{ B })$

B

$q (\overrightarrow{ V } \times \overrightarrow{ B })$

C

$q \overrightarrow{ E }+ q (\overrightarrow{ B } \times \overrightarrow{ V })$

D

$q \overrightarrow{ B }+ q (\overrightarrow{ E } \times \overrightarrow{ V })$

(AIPMT-2002)

Solution

(a)Lorentz force is given by
$\overrightarrow F = \overrightarrow {{F_e}} + \overrightarrow {{F_m}} = q\overrightarrow E + q(\overrightarrow v \times \overrightarrow B ) = q[\overrightarrow E + (\overrightarrow v \times \overrightarrow B )]$
