4.Moving Charges and Magnetism
medium
A charge particle moving in magnetic field $B$, has the components of velocity along $B$ as well as perpendicular to $B$. The path of the charge particle will be
A
helical path with the axis perpendicular to the direction of magnetic field $B$
B
straight along the direction of magnetic field $B$
C
helical path with the axis along magnetic field $B$
D
circular path
(JEE MAIN-2023)
Solution

Due to component $v_1$,
magnetic force $F = qv _1 B \sin \theta=0$
So $v _1$ remains unchanged
but due to component $v_2$ magnetic force act towards centre i.e. moving it circular. So path is helical with the axis parallel to magnetic field $B$.
