A charged particle moves with some initial velocity along the direction of external magnetic field B . Now, if we apply uniform field perpendicular to the magnetic field, then the trajectory of the charged particle will be
Options
- Acircle
- Bhelix
- Ccycloid
- Dstraight line
Correct answer
B. helix
Step-by-step solution
As charged particle enters region of electric field, its' net velocity is inclined at some angle to B . So, path of charged particle is a helix.
