Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

The force on a charged particle moving in a magnetic field is maximum when: (2021)
  • Step 1: Understand that a charged particle is any particle that has an electric charge, like an electron or proton.
  • Step 2: Know that a magnetic field is an area around a magnet where magnetic forces can be felt.
  • Step 3: Learn that when a charged particle moves through a magnetic field, it experiences a force.
  • Step 4: Recognize that the direction of this force depends on the direction of the particle's movement and the direction of the magnetic field.
  • Step 5: Remember that the force is maximum when the particle moves at a right angle (90 degrees) to the magnetic field lines.
  • Step 6: Conclude that if the particle moves parallel to the magnetic field lines, the force will be zero.
