JEE PHYSICS MCQ: ELECTRIC FIELDS AND CHARGES

1 Medium
1 of 1
Understanding +4 | -1
Assertion(A): In an uniform magnetic field,
speed and kinetic energy remains the same
for a moving charged particle.

Reason (R): In the case of motion of a charge
in a magnetic field, the magnetic force is
perpendicular to the velocity of the particle.
So, no work is done and no change in the
magnitude of the velocity (speed) and
kinetic energy is produced.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Both A and R are true and R is the
correct explanation of A
Option A is correct because the magnetic force on a moving charged particle in a uniform magnetic field is perpendicular to its velocity, resulting in no work done and constant speed and kinetic energy.
