Question:

Case : Read the passage and answer the question(s).

A force on a charge in electric and magnetic field is given as :

F = qE + qvB

where, 

E : Electric field

B : Magnetic field

q : Charge

v : Velocity of the charge

Based on this information, answer the question that follows.

What happens if the force is zero?

Options:

The charge comes to rest

The charge continues with same acceleration

The charge continues with same velocity

Force cannot be zero at all.

Correct Answer:

The charge continues with same velocity

Explanation:

Force can be zero. This means that acceleration is zero which means that the velocity remains the constant.
