4.Moving Charges and Magnetism
easy

A charged particle moves with velocity $v$ in a uniform magnetic field $\overrightarrow B $. The magnetic force experienced by the particle is

A

Always zero

B

Zero, if $\overrightarrow B $ and $\overrightarrow {v\,} $ are parallel

C

Zero, if $\overrightarrow B $ and $\overrightarrow {v\,} $ are perpendicular

D

Never zero

Solution

$\overrightarrow F = q(\overrightarrow v \times \overrightarrow B )$; if $\overrightarrow v ||\,\overrightarrow B $ then $\overrightarrow F = 0$
