easy

A particle is moving in a uniform magnetic field, then

A

Its momentum changes but total energy remains the same

B

Both momentum and total energy remain the same

C

Both will change

D

Total energy changes but momentum remains the same

Solution

(a) The charged particle moving in a magnetic field does not gain energy. However, the direction of its velocity changes continuously. Hence momentum changes.
