Question:

If charge is moving parallel to uniform magnetic field, its path will be:

Options:

straight line

circular

hellical

elliptical

Correct Answer:

straight line

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → straight line $n^{2}$

According to Lorentz force,

$F=q(\vec V×\vec B)$

If the velocity is parallel to magnetic field, no force will be acting on charge. Hence, it will move in straight line.
