The magnetic force can act on a charge, which is

  1. A moving in the perpendicular direction to the magnetic field
  2. B moving in the direction of the magnetic field
  3. C moving in the direction opposite to the magnetic field
  4. D at rest
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) moving in the perpendicular direction to the magnetic field

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The magnetic force acts on a charge only if it is moving and its velocity has a component perpendicular to the magnetic field, i.e., \( F = qvB \sin\theta \neq 0 \). For \( \sin\theta \neq 0 \), \( \theta \neq 0^\circ \) and \( \theta \neq 180^\circ \). The correct condition is…
