Moving Charges and Magnetism

  1. A particle having charge q moves with a velocity through a region in which both an electric field and a magnetic field are present .The force on the particle is

    ​Force due to electric field = qE
    Force due to magnetic field = ​q(v × B)
    Net force experienced = qE + q(v × B)

    Correct Option: D

    ​Force due to electric field = qE
    Force due to magnetic field = ​q(v × B)
    Net force experienced = qE + q(v × B)
