COMEDK · Physics · 21. Magnetic Effects of Current
A charged particle moves in a uniform magnetic field. The velocity of the particle at some instant makes an acute angle with the magnetic field. The path of the particle will be
- A a straight line
- B a circle
- C a helix with uniform piteh
- D a helix with non-uniform pitch
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) a helix with uniform piteh
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
When a charged particle moves in uniform magnetic field making an acute angle with the direction of magnetic field, then it moves on helical path with uniform pitch.
