A point charge q moving with a velocity `vecv` at a given time in a magnetic field `vecB` experiences a force given as `F = q [vec(v). vecB]`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
False
Lorentz force `vecF = q(vecv xx vecB)`

Moving charges in a magnetic field would experience a force.

A charge q is moving with a velocity v_(1)=1hati m/s at a point in a magentic field and experiences a force F=q[-hatj+1hatk] N. If the charge is moving with a voloctiy v_(2)=2hatj m/s at the same point then it experiences a force F_(2)=q(1hati-1hatk) N. The magnetic induction B at that point is

An electron moving with velocity vecv_(1)=1hati m//s at a point in a magnetic field experiences a force vecF_(1)=-ehatjN where e is the charge of electron.If the electron is moving with a velocity vecv_(2)=hati-hatj m//s at the same point, it experiences a force vecF_(2)=-e(hati+hatj)N . Find the magnetic field and the force the electron would experience if it were moving with a velocity vecv_(3)=vecv_(1)xxvecv_(2) at the same point.

Force on a charged particle moving with velocity vecv subjected to a magnetic field is zero. This means:
