A charge moves with velocity ' \(\mathrm{V}\) ' through electric field (E) as well as magnetic field (B). then the force acting on it is

  1. A \(\mathrm{q}(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}} \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{V}})\)
  2. B \(q(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{V}} \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}})\)
  3. C \(q \overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}}+\mathrm{q}(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{V}} \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}})\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{q}(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}} \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{V}})\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(q \overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}}+\mathrm{q}(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{V}} \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}})\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Force due to electric field \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}}_{\mathrm{e}}=\mathrm{q} \overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}}\)
Force due to magnetic field \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}}_{\mathrm{m}}=\mathrm{q}(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{v}} \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}})\)
\(\therefore\) Total force \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}}=\mathrm{q} \overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}}+\mathrm{q}(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{V}} \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}})\)
