A charged particle moves through a magnetic field perpendicular to its direction. Then
A. Kinetic energy changes but the momentum is constant
B. the momentum changes but the kinetic energy is constant
C. both momentum and kinetic energy of the particle are not constant
D. both momentum and kinetic energy of the particle are constant
Correct Answer is Option (B)
NOTE : When a charged particle enters a magnetic field
at a direction perpendicular to the direction of motion, the path of the motion is circular.
In
circular motion the direction of velocity changes at every point (the magnitude remains
constant).
Therefore, the tangential momentum will change at every point. But kinetic energy
will
remain constant as it is given by and is the square of the magnitude of velocity
which does not change.

In a region, steady and uniform electric and magnetic fields are present. These two fields are parallel
to
each other. A charged particle is released from rest in this region. The path of the particle will be a
A. helix
B. straight line
C. ellipse
D. circle
Correct Answer is Option (B)
The charged particle will move along the lines of electric field (and magnetic field).
Magnetic
field will exert no force. The force by electric field will be along the lines of uniform
electric field. Hence the particle will move in a straight line.
