Q
Q: In which of the following scenarios will a charged particle experience no magnetic force?
Solution: A charged particle experiences no magnetic force when it is either at rest or moving parallel to the magnetic field.
Steps: 6
Step 1: Understand that a charged particle can be an electron, proton, or any particle with an electric charge.
Step 2: Know that a magnetic force acts on a charged particle when it moves in a magnetic field.
Step 3: Remember that there are two main conditions where a charged particle will not experience a magnetic force.
Step 4: The first condition is when the charged particle is at rest, meaning it is not moving at all.
Step 5: The second condition is when the charged particle is moving in the same direction as the magnetic field lines, which is called moving parallel to the magnetic field.
Step 6: If either of these conditions is true, the charged particle will not feel any magnetic force.
