4.Moving Charges and Magnetism
easy

A charged particle enters a uniform magnetic field perpendicular to it. The magnetic field

A

Increases the speed of the particle

B

Decreases the kinetic energy of the particle

C

Changes the direction of motion of the particle

D

Both $(a)$ and $(c)$

Solution

(c)

Magnetic force $\bar{F} \perp \bar{V}$

$\Rightarrow$ No work is done by magnetic field so speed and kinetic energy cannot be changed by magnetic field but it can deflect the particle
