Case : Read the passage and answer the question(s). A force on a charge in electric and magnetic field is given as : F = qE + qvB where, E : Electric field B : Magnetic field q : Charge v : Velocity of the charge Based on this information, answer the question that follows. |
Consider that charge is held stationary. What can you say about the force on the charge? |
Non zero Zero Infinite Zero only if the magnetic field is zero. |
Non zero |
As charge is held stationary, v = 0. Therefore, F = qE \(\neq \) 0 |
