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
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
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.
