4.Moving Charges and Magnetism
medium

When a charged particle moving with velocity $\vec V$ is subjected to a magnetic field of induction $\vec B$ , the force on it is non-zero. This implies the

A

Angle between $\vec V$ and $\vec B$ is necessary $90^o$

B

Angle between $\vec V$ and $\vec B$ can have any value other than $90^o$

C

Angle between $\vec V$ and $\vec B$ can have any value other than zero and $180^o$

D

Angle between $\vec V$ and $\vec B$ is either zero or $180^o$

Solution

$\overrightarrow {\text{F}}  = {\text{q}}(\overrightarrow {\text{v}}  \times \overrightarrow {\text{B}} ) = {\text{qvB}}\sin \theta \,\widehat {\text{n}}$

Therefore when $\theta=0^{\circ}$ or $\theta=180^{\circ}, \quad \mathrm{F}=0$
