Magnetic Effects Of Current Question 299
Question: A charged particle is moving with velocity v in a magnetic field of induction B. The force on the particle will be maximum when [MP PMT/PET 1998]
Options:
A) v and B are in the same direction
B) v and B are in opposite directions
C) v and B are perpendicular
D) v and B are at an angle of $ 45{}^\circ $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
Lorentz force $ F=( v\times B ) $ or $ | F |=qvB\sin \theta $ F will be maximum. when $ \theta =90^{o} $
