Question

Consider a magnetic force acting on an electric charge in a uniform magnetic field. Which of the following statements are true? Check all that apply. Check all that apply. The direction of the magnetic force acting on a moving charge in a magnetic field is perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field. An electric charge moving parallel to a magnetic field experiences a magnetic force. The direction of the magnetic force acting on a moving electric charge in a magnetic field is perpendicular to the direction of motion. A magnetic force is exerted on a stationary electric charge in a uniform magnetic field. A magnetic force is exerted on an electric charge moving through a uniform magnetic field if the velocity of the charge is not parallel to the magnetic field. An electric charge moving perpendicular to a magnetic field experiences a magnetic force.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The magnetic force acting on the charged particle in magnetic field is given by :

`F=qvB\ \sin\theta`

Here,

q is the charged particle

v is the speed of particle

B is magnetic field

`\theta` is the angle between the v and B.

The correct statements for the magnetic force are :

• An electric charge moving perpendicular to a magnetic field experiences a magnetic force. In this case,
  `\theta=90^(\circ)`. It will experience maximum force.
• The direction of the magnetic force acting on a moving electric charge in a magnetic field is perpendicular to the direction of motion.
• A magnetic force is exerted on an electric charge moving through a uniform magnetic field.
• The direction of the magnetic force acting on a moving charge in a magnetic field is perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field.
