A) acceleration remains unchanged
B) velocity remains unchanged
C) speed of the particle remains unchanged
D) direction of the particle remains unchanged
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
When a charged particle moves through a perpendicular magnetic field, then a magnetic force acts on it which changes the direction of particle but does not alter the magnitude of its velocity (i.e. speed). Note: If a charged particle moves at \[{{45}^{o}}\] to magnetic field then path of the particle will be a helix whose circular part has radius according to relation \[r=\frac{mv\,\sin \theta }{qB}\].You need to login to perform this action.
