A charged particle is moving along a magnetic field line. What is the magnetic force acting on the particle? ( 0^ =0, 2 =1 )
Options
- AOpposite to its velocity.
- BPerpendicular to its velocity.
- CZero.
- DAlong its velocity.
Correct answer
C. Zero.
Step-by-step solution
Magnetic force is given by, F = qvB Where is the angle between the velocity vector of the charged particle and the direction of the magnetic field. Since charged particle is moving along a magnetic field line =0^ . If =0^ , then F=0 ( 0^ =0 )
