Which of the following statements is INCORRECT?

  1. A A moving charge produces a magnetic field which in turn exerts a force on another moving charge.
  2. B An electric charge always experiences a force in an electric field, whether the charge is stationary or in motion.
  3. C A charge moving parallel or antiparallel to the direction of the magnetic field experiences a magnetic Lorentz force.
  4. D A stationary charge does not produce any magnetic field to interact with an external magnetic field.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) A charge moving parallel or antiparallel to the direction of the magnetic field experiences a magnetic Lorentz force.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \vec{F} = q(\vec{v} \times \vec{B}) \) \( F = qvB\sin\theta \) For parallel motion, \( \theta = 0^\circ \implies \sin\theta = 0 \implies F = 0 \). For antiparallel motion, \( \theta = 180^\circ \implies \sin\theta = 0 \implies F = 0 \). A charge moving parallel or…
