KVPY2020PhysicsMagnetic Effects of Current
A collimated beam of charged and uncharged particles is directed towards a hole marked P on a screen as shown below. If the electric and magnetic fields as indicated below are turned on
Options
- Aonly particles with speed E / B will go through the hole P .
- Bonly charged particles with speed E / B and neutral particles will go through P .
- Conly neutral particles will go through P .
- Donly positively charged particles with speed E / B and neutral particles will go through P .
Correct answer
C. only neutral particles will go through P .
Step-by-step solution
For charged particles net force is in downward direction, so they won't be able to go through the hole P . And uncharged particle don't deviate so they will be able to go through hole P .
