Case : Read the passage and answer the question(s). A charged particle whose mass is 19.9 ×10-27 kg and charge is 1.6×10-19 C moves with a speed of 3×105 m/s at right angle to a magnetic field of 0.75 T. |
In case of motion of a charged particle in a steady magnetic field, which of the following remain constant? |
Speed Velocity Momentum None of these |
Speed |
Since the direction of magnetic force will always be perpendicular to velocity, no work is done on the particle and so speed remains same, it only changes the direction. |
