Question:

Which of the following particle will experience maximum magnetic force (magnitude) when projected with same velocity perpendicular to the magnetic field? Choose the correct answer from the options given below.

Options:

Electron

Proton

$He^+$

$Li^{++}$

Correct Answer:

$Li^{++}$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → $Li^{++}$

According to Lorent'z force,

$F=qvB$

$⇒F∝q$

∴ The particle with greatest charge will experience the greatest magnetic force.

Thus, $Li^{++}$ experiences the maximum magnetic force.
