A charged particle moves through a magnetic field perpendicular to its direction. Then

  1. A kinetic energy changes but the momentum is constant
  2. B the momentum changes but the kinetic energy is constant
  3. C both momentum and kinetic energy of the particle are not constant
  4. D both momentum and kinetic energy of the particle are constant
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) the momentum changes but the kinetic energy is constant

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

When a charged particle moves through a magnetic field perpendicular to its direction, it attains a circular path. The magnetic field exerts force in a direction perpendicular to its direction of velocity so its changes at each point but the magnitude is same. Thus work done by…
