4.Moving Charges and Magnetism
easy

A charge moving with velocity $v$ in $X$-direction is subjected to a field of magnetic induction in the negative $X$-direction. As a result, the charge will

A

Remain unaffected

B

Start moving in a circular path $Y-Z$ plane

C

Retard along $X$-axis

D

Move along a helical path around $X$-axis

(AIPMT-1993)

Solution

(a) $\overrightarrow {{F_m}} = q\,(\overrightarrow {v\,} \times \overrightarrow B )$
When the angle between $\overrightarrow {v\,} $ and $\overrightarrow B  \,is\, 180^o, F_m = 0$
