Due to the earth's magnetic field, charged cosmic ray particles

required greater kinetic energy to reach the equator than the poles

required lesser kinetic energy to reach the equator than the poles

can never reach the equator

can never reach the poles

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:

Due to magnetic force the charged particles get deviated for positively, charged particles, due to east-west asymmetry of particles, more particles get deviated towards east, then towards west, but since they are deviated, hardly any charged particles will reach equator.
