JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 4. Moving charges and magnetism

A proton moving with a constant velocity passes through a region of space without any change in its velocity. If \(\vec{E}\) and \(\vec{B}\) represent the electric and magnetic fields respectively, then the region of space may have : (\(A\)) \(\mathrm{E}=0, \mathrm{~B}=0\) (\(B\)) \(\mathrm{E}=0, \mathrm{~B} \neq 0\) (\(C\)) \(\mathrm{E} \neq 0, \mathrm{~B}=0\) (\(D\)) \(\mathrm{E} \neq 0, \mathrm{~B} \neq 0\) Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

  1. A \((A)\), \((B)\) and \((C)\) only
  2. B \((A)\), \((C)\) and \((D)\) only
  3. C  \((A)\), \((B)\) and \((D)\) only
  4. D  \((B)\), \((C)\) and \((D)\) only
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C)  \((A)\), \((B)\) and \((D)\) only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Net force on particle must be zero i.e. \(\mathrm{q} \overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}}+\mathrm{q} \overrightarrow{\mathrm{V}} \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}}=0\) Possible cases are \((i)\) \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}} \& \overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}}=0\) \((ii)\)…
