4.Moving Charges and Magnetism
easy
If the direction of the initial velocity of the charged particle is perpendicular to the magnetic field, then the orbit will be or The path executed by a charged particle whose motion is perpendicular to magnetic field is
A
A straight line
B
An ellipse
C
A circle
D
A helix
Solution

(c) 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.
