Magnetic field will not produce in case of?

Correct answer: C. Neutral particles

  • A. Charged positive particles
  • B. Charged negative particles
  • C. Neutral particles
  • D. All of these

Explanation

Correct option is C. Magnetic fields will not be produced in case of neutral particles. The protons, cathode rays and alpha particles are charged particles, so the magnetic field deflects them. But there is no charge on the neutrons, so they are not deflected by the magnetic field.

About Charged Particle in a Magnetic Field

A charged particle moving through a magnetic field experiences the Lorentz force, which is perpendicular to both its velocity and the field. The motion may be circular or helical, with questions involving radius, angular frequency, time period, and work done. A stationary charge feels no magnetic force.
