Given below are two statements Statement I : magnetic field does zero work on a charge particle entering with uniform velocity. Statement II : A charge particle entering a region of uniform magnetic field with its velocity perpendicular to the direction of magnetic field, executes a circular motion. In the light of the above statement, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below |
Both statement I and statement II are correct Both statement I and statement II are incorrect Statement I is correct but statement II is incorrect Statement I is incorrect but statement II is correct |
Both statement I and statement II are correct |
The correct answer is option (1) : Both statement I and statement II are correct The work done by magnetic field is zero on a charge particle entering with uniform velocity as displacement of particle is perpendicular to magnetic force. A charge particle entering a region of uniform magnetic field with its velocity perpendicular to direction of magnetic field executes a circular motion. |
