Magnetic Effects Of Current Question 263

Question: A charged particle moves with velocity v in a uniform magnetic field $ \overrightarrow{B} $ . The magnetic force experienced by the particle is [CBSE PMT 1990]

Options:

A) Always zero

B) Never zero

C) Zero, if $ \overrightarrow{B} $ and $ \overrightarrow{v,} $ are perpendicular

D) Zero, if $ \overrightarrow{B} $ and $ \overrightarrow{v,} $ are parallel

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

$ \overrightarrow{F}=q(\overrightarrow{v}\times \overrightarrow{B}) $ ; if $ \overrightarrow{v}||,\overrightarrow{B} $ then $ \overrightarrow{F}=0 $
