PhysicsMoving Charges and MagnetismNEET 2008

A particle of mass , charge and kinetic energy enters a transverse uniform magnetic field of induction . After 3 seconds the kinetic energy of the particle will be

Answer: (4)

Solution

In a magnetic field the force on a moving charge, , is always perpendicular to the velocity. Hence the magnetic force does no work on the particle. The speed, and therefore the kinetic energy,
