Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\dfrac{1}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The magnetic force acting on a charged particle moving in a uniform magnetic field is given by the expression \(\vec{F} = q(\vec{v} \times \vec{B})\). The magnitude of the force is \(F = qvB \sin \theta\), where \(v\) is the velocity of the particle, \(B\) is the magnetic field…
