NEET2008PhysicsMagnetic Effects of CurrentActual
Assertion : The energy of charged particle moving in a uniform magnetic field does not change. Reason : Work done by magnetic field on the charge is zero.
Options
- AIf both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
- BIf both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
- CIf assertion is true but reason is false
- DIf both assertion and reason are false.
Correct answer
D. If both assertion and reason are false.
Step-by-step solution
The force on a charged particle moving in a uniform magnetic field always acts in direction perpendicular to the direction of motion of the charge. As work done by magnetic field on the charge is zero. [W=F S ] , so the energy of the charged particle does not change.
