4.Moving Charges and Magnetism
easy

If a proton is projected in a direction perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field with velocity $v$ and an electron is projected along the lines of force, what will happen to proton and electron

A

The electron will travel along a circle with constant speed and the proton will move along a straight line

B

Proton will move in a circle with constant speed and there will be no effect on the motion of electron

C

There will not be any effect on the motion of electron and proton

D

The electron and proton both will follow the path of a parabola

Solution

(b) Maximum force will act on proton so it will move on a circular path. Force on electron will be zero because it is moving parallel to the field.
