Question:

Consider F = q(v X B)

  • Statement I: The vectors F and v are perpendicular to each other.
  • Statement II: The vectors v and B can have any angle between them.
  • Statement III: The vectors F and B are perpendicular to each other. 

What is the correct option?

Options:

All the statements are true

Statement I and III are true only

Statement II and III are true only

Statement I and II are true only

Correct Answer:

All the statements are true
