Moving Charges and Magnetism

  1. A charge moving with velocity v in X-direction is subjected to a field of magnetic induction in negative X-direction. As a result, the charge will
    1. remain unaffected
    2. start moving in a circular path Y–Z plane
    3. retard along X-axis ​
    4. move along a helical path around X-axis
Correct Option: A

The force acting on a charged particle in magnetic field is given by ​
F = q (v × B) or F = qvB sin θ, ​
When angle between v and B is 180°, ​F = 0​
