The magnetic force is simply a:
Correct answer: C. Deflecting force
- A. Reflecting force
- B. Restoring force
- C. Deflecting force
- D. Gravitational force
Explanation
Magnetic force is simply a deflecting force. It will change the direction of charge particle moving in magnetic field. So, only direction of motion will change not magnitude

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.
