What is the behavior of a charged particle moving in a region where the electric field $\vec{E}$ and magnetic field $\vec{B}$ are perpendicular to each other?

  • A
    The particle will always move in a straight line.
  • B
    The particle will always move in a circular path.
  • C
    The particle may move in a straight line if the forces balance each other.
  • D
    The particle will always come to rest.

The Lorentz magnetic force is acting on a particle of charge $q$ moving with velocity $\vec{v}$ in a magnetic field $\vec{B}$. The work done by this force on the charged particle is

The electrostatic force $(\vec{F}_1)$ and magnetic force $(\vec{F}_2)$ acting on a charge $q$ moving with velocity $\vec{v}$ can be written as:

An electron enters an electric field with intensity $\vec{E} = 3\hat{i} + 6\hat{j} + 2\hat{k} \text{ V m}^{-1}$ and a magnetic field with induction $\vec{B} = 2\hat{i} + 3\hat{j} \text{ T}$ with a velocity $\vec{v} = 2\hat{i} + 3\hat{j} \text{ m s}^{-1}$. The magnitude of the force acting on the electron is (Given, $e = -1.6 \times 10^{-19} \text{ C}$)

$A$ particle of charge $2 \ C$ is moving with a velocity of $(3 \hat{i} + 4 \hat{j}) \ ms^{-1}$ in the presence of magnetic and electric fields. If the magnetic field is $(\hat{i} + 2 \hat{j} + 3 \hat{k}) \ T$ and the electric field is $(-2 \hat{k}) \ NC^{-1}$, then the Lorentz force on the particle is: (in $N$)

$A$ charge $q$ moves with velocity $\vec{V}$ through an electric field $\vec{E}$ as well as a magnetic field $\vec{B}$. Then the force acting on it is:
