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 electric field is turned off and the charge is at rest?

Options:

Force acting is infinite.

Force acting is zero.

Force acting is the same.

Force acting will depend upon the magnitude of the charge.

Correct Answer:

Force acting is zero.

Explanation:

As E, B = 0; F = 0.
