Which, among the following qualities, is not affected by the magnetic field?
Correct answer: D. Stationary charge
- A. Moving charge
- B. Charge in magnetic flux
- C. Current flowing in conductor
- D. Stationary charge
Explanation
A magnetic field does not affect a stationary charge because it has no velocity. We know that force on a charged particle due to a magnetic field = Bvqsinθ. When v = 0, the force due to the magnetic field on the charged particle will be 0 and the magnetic field will not affect the charged particle.

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.
