Q1
In which of the following scenarios is the magnetic force on a charged particle zero?
  1. When the particle is at rest
  2. When the particle moves parallel to the magnetic field
  3. When the particle moves perpendicular to the magnetic field
  4. Both 1 and 2

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In which of the following scenarios is the magnetic force on a charged particle zero?
  • Step 1: Understand that a charged particle can experience a magnetic force when it moves in a magnetic field.
  • Step 2: Know that the magnetic force depends on the speed and direction of the charged particle relative to the magnetic field.
  • Step 3: Recognize that if the charged particle is at rest (not moving), it does not experience any magnetic force.
  • Step 4: Learn that if the charged particle moves in the same direction as the magnetic field (parallel), the magnetic force is also zero.
  • Step 5: Conclude that the magnetic force is zero in two scenarios: when the particle is at rest or when it moves parallel to the magnetic field.
