4.Moving Charges and Magnetism
easy
If the direction of the initial velocity of the charged particle is neither along nor perpendicular to that of the magnetic field, then the orbit will be
A
A straight line
B
An ellipse
C
A circle
D
A helix
Solution
The perpendicular component will be responsible for circular motion and parallel component will take it along the magnetic field. Considering both the phenomena, the resultant motion will be helical.
