If velocity of charged particle and magnetic field are at a fix angle not 90 then path will be

Correct answer: D. helical

  • A. circular
  • B. straight line
  • C. spherical
  • D. helical

Explanation

If velocity of charged particle and magnetic field are at an angle of 90 then path will be circular and if the angle is other than 90 then the path is helical.

About Electromagnetism

Magnetic flux density and magnetic flux describe the strength of a magnetic field and the field passing through a surface. A charged particle moving through a magnetic field experiences a force perpendicular to its velocity and may follow circular or helical motion, depending on the angle between velocity and field.
