If projected with identical velocity perpendicular to a magnetic field, which of the following particles will be subjected to a magnetic force of maximum magnitude?

Options

  1. AProton
  2. BHe+\text{He}^+
  3. CElectron
  4. DLi++\text{Li}^{++}

Correct answer

D. Li++\text{Li}^{++}

Step-by-step solution

The magnetic force on a charged particle moving perpendicular to a magnetic field is given by F=qvBF = qvB.

Since the velocity vv and magnetic field BB are identical for all particles, the magnitude of the magnetic force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the charge qq of the particle.

The magnitudes of the charges for the given particles are:
Proton: ee
He+\text{He}^+: ee
Electron: ee
Li++\text{Li}^{++}: 2e2e

Since Li++\text{Li}^{++} has the maximum charge magnitude, it will experience the maximum magnetic force.
