COMEDK · Physics · 21. Magnetic Effects of Current

When a charged particle moves perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field, then

  1. A its momentum changes and total energy is same
  2. B Both momentum and its total energy remain the same
  3. C Both momentum and its total energy will change
  4. D total energy changes but momentum remains same
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) its momentum changes and total energy is same

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

When a charged particle moves in a uniform magnetic field normally, then a magnetic force acts on it. Due to this force, it will move in a circular path. At every point of circle, its velocity changes direction. So, its mumentun also changes bul the Lotal energy will remain same.
