Question:

Identify the incorrect statements from the following.

(A) A charged particle of charge e is moving through a magnetic field, work will be done by the magnetic field on the charge.
(B) A conductor with free electrons is placed in a magnetic field. No current is flowing through the conductor. No magnetic force acts on the conductor.
(C) A charged particle is moving perpendicular to the magnetic field. The magnetic force does not change the speed of the particle but changes its direction.
(D) A charged particle is moving in a straight direction without any change of direction. It shows that no magnetic field is there.
