A charged particle moves along a circle under the action of constant electric and magnetic fields. Which of the following is possible?

  1. A E = 0B = 0
  2. B E0, B = 0
  3. C E = 0 B≠0
  4. D \(E \neq 0, B \neq 0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) E = 0 B≠0

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \vec{F}_{net} \cdot \vec{v} = 0 \) \( (q\vec{E} + q(\vec{v} \times \vec{B})) \cdot \vec{v} = 0 \) \( q\vec{E} \cdot \vec{v} = 0 \) For constant \( \vec{E} \) and circular motion (varying \( \vec{v} \)), \( \vec{E} = 0 \). Therefore, \( E=0, B \neq 0 \) is possible.
