A charged particle enters into a uniform magnetic field such that its velocity vector is perpendicular to the magnetic field vector. Ignoring the particle's weight, what type of path will the particle follow

Sagot :

Manetho

Answer:

a circular path

Explanation:

In a magnetism field if a charged particle having a charge of magnitude '' enters  such that its velocity vector V is 90° to the direction of the magnetic field "B'', then it will experience a force, called Lorentz force F

[tex]F = V\times B[/tex]

According to the property of cross-product, the Lorentz force (F) acting on the particle will be perpendicular to the instantaneous position of the particle, making the path of the particle to be a circular path.
