Under what condition the force acting on the charge particle moving in the magnetic field maximum?
Correct answer: A. Charge particle moves perpendicular to the velocity vector
- A. Charge particle moves perpendicular to the velocity vector
- B. Charge particle moves in straight line with the velocity vector
- C. Charge particles moves with an angle 60 degrees with the velocity vector
- D. All of the above
Explanation
The force will have a magnitude F = qvBsinθWhere F is the force on a charged particle in a magnetic fieldq is the magnitude of the chargev is the velocity of the charged particleand θ is the angle between v and BThus it will be maximum if sin θ is maximum. Thus angle between velocity and magnetic field should be 90 or the charge particle moves perpendicular to the velocity vector.

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.
