Practicing Success
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. |
Consider the following statements: (1) Magnetic field exerts force only on a moving charge. (2) Electric field exerts force on both stationary and moving charge. (3) Magnetic field exerts force on charge moving parallel to the direction of the field. Which of these is/are true? |
(2), (3) (1), (2) (1), (3) All of the above |
(1), (2) |
Magnetic force, F = q .(v X B) = qvbsinθ, for parallel direction, θ = 0o , therefore, F = 0. So statement (3) is incorrect. |
