Identify the correct statements: (A) A magnetic field exerts force on a moving charge and not on a stationary charge. Choose the correct answer from the options given below: |
(A), (B) (C) and (D) (B), (C) and (D) only (A), (B) and (D) only (A), (B) and (C) only |
(A), (B) (C) and (D) |
The correct answer is Option (1) → (A), (B) (C) and (D) (A) ✔ A magnetic field exerts force only on a moving charge, not on a stationary charge: $\vec{F} = q (\vec{v} \times \vec{B})$. (B) ✔ A moving charge produces a magnetic field (Biot–Savart law). (C) ✔ For an idealized infinitesimal current element (short straight wire segment), the magnetic field along its **axis** is zero. This is a direct consequence of the Biot–Savart law. (D) ✔ Magnetic field vector $\vec{B}$ is tangential to the magnetic field line at any point. Correct statements: (A), (B), (C), (D) |
