If a charged particle at rest experiences no electromagnetic force,

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Electric field can apply force on a charged particle in a state of rest or motion. If the charge particle is in a state of motion only then magnetic force can act on it. In a state of motion there is one possibility of cancellation of electric and magnetic force. Here, charge is in a state of rest and experiencing no electromagnetic force, hence, electric field must be zero in the surrounding. For magnetic field, we cannot say anything, because particle is at rest and magnetic force will remain sero even if magnetic field is present. So in the given situation, electric field must be zero but magnetic field may or may not be zero.

    When we consider a point charge q moving with a velocity vecv at a given time in presence of magnetic field vecB , the charged particle experiences a magnetic force vecF_m = q[vecv xx vecB] . The force was first given by H.A. Lorentz and is called the Lorentz magnetic force. The force depends on q, vecv and vecB and involves a vector product of vecv and vecB . The force acts in a side ways direction perpendicular to both the velocity and magnetic field and the direction is given by right hand thumb rule for vector product. Obviously force on a negative charge is opposite to that on a positive charge. Under what condition does a moving charge experience minimum force due to a magnetic field present there?
