Moving Charge in a Magnetic Field

Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).

Assertion (A): In an uniform magnetic field, speed and energy remains the same for a moving charged particle.

Reason (R): Moving charged particle experiences magnetic force perpendicular to its direction of motion.

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. (R): magnetic force q(v⃗×B⃗)q(\vec{v} \times \vec{B}) is perpendicular to the velocity. True.
  2. So it does no work, and speed and kinetic energy stay constant: (A) true and explained by (R).
  3. So the answer is (a).
