Show that the kinetic energy of the particle moving in a magnetic field remains constant

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

A charged particle moving in a perpendicular magnetic field describes a circular path, on which its speed v does not change. So its kinetic energy `K(=1/2mv^2)` remains unchanged.
