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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

The magnetic field produces a forces `F=qvB sin theta` on the particle. But`theta=othereforeF=0`Hence only electric feild acts on the charged particle and it moves along a straight line.
