The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the behavior of a charged particle when it is projected parallel to a magnetic field. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Force on a Charged Particle**: The force \( F \) acting on a charged particle moving in a magnetic field is given by the equation: \[ F = q \cdot v \cdot B \cdot \sin(\theta) \] where: - \( q \) = charge of the particle, - \( v \) = velocity of the particle, - \( B \) = magnetic field strength, - \( \theta \) = angle between the velocity vector and the magnetic field vector. 2. **Identifying the Angle**: In the case where the charged particle is projected parallel to the magnetic field, the angle \( \theta \) is \( 0^\circ \). 3. **Calculating the Sine of the Angle**: The sine of \( 0^\circ \) is: \[ \sin(0^\circ) = 0 \] 4. **Substituting into the Force Equation**: Substituting \( \sin(0^\circ) \) into the force equation gives: \[ F = q \cdot v \cdot B \cdot 0 = 0 \] 5. **Conclusion on the Motion of the Particle**: Since the magnetic force \( F \) is zero, there is no force acting on the charged particle. Therefore, the particle will continue its motion without any change in velocity or direction. ### Final Answer: The charged particle \( (+q) \) will continue its motion without any change. ---
