NEETPhysicsMagnetic Effects of Current
Given below are two statements : One is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Assertion (A) : In an uniform magnetic field, speed and energy remains the same for a moving charged particle. Reason (R): Moving charged particle experiences magnetic force perpendicular to its direction of motion.
Options
- ABoth Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
- BBoth Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is NOT the correct explanation of Assertion.
- CAssertion is true but Reason is false.
- DAssertion is false but Reason is true.
Correct answer
A. Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
Step-by-step solution
The force experienced by the charge particle is perpendicular to the instantaneous velocity at all instants as F → = q v → × B → . Hence, the magnetic force cannot bring any change in the speed of the charged particle. Since, the speed remains constant, the kinetic energy also remains constant.
