Lorenz magnetic force is acting on a particle of charge \(q\) moving with velocity \(\vec{V}\) in a magnetic field \(\vec{B}\). The work done by this force on the charged particle is

  1. A zero
  2. B one
  3. C infinity
  4. D \(\mathrm{qB} \sin \theta\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) zero

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Magnetic force \( \vec{F}_B \) is always perpendicular to the velocity \( \vec{V} \) of the charged particle. Work done \( W = \int \vec{F}_B \cdot d\vec{r} \).
