A positively charged particle moving along + X axis, enters a region of uniform magnetic field directed vertically upward in + Z direction. The particle will

  1. A move in a circular path with an increased speed
  2. B move in a circular path with a uniform speed
  3. C move in a circular path with a decreased speed
  4. D get deflected in a vertically upward direction
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) move in a circular path with a uniform speed

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \vec{F} \propto (\hat{i} \times \hat{k}) = -\hat{j} \) Since \( \vec{F} \perp \vec{v} \), speed is uniform and motion is circular. The particle will move in a circular path with a uniform speed.
