A charged particle enters a magnetic field with velocity v at an angle \( \theta \) with the field and experiences a magnetic force. The kinetic energy of the particle

  1. A becomes maximum if \( \theta = 90^\circ \)
  2. B becomes maximum if \( \theta = 0^\circ \)
  3. C becomes minimum if \( \theta = 180^\circ \)
  4. D is not affected by magnetic force
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) is not affected by magnetic force

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The magnetic force \( \vec{F} = q(\vec{v} \times \vec{B}) \) is always perpendicular to the velocity \( \vec{v} \). Work done by magnetic force \( W = \vec{F} \cdot d\vec{s} = 0 \). Since \( W = \Delta KE \), the kinetic energy is not affected by magnetic force.
