Write the expression for the magnetic force `vecF` acting on a charged particle `q` moving with velocity `vecv` in the presence of the magnetic field `vecB` in a vector form.
Show that no work is done and no change in the magnitude of the velocity of the particle is produced by this force.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

As the force `vecF` is acting in a direction perpendicular to both `vecv and vecB`, it does not do any work on the charged particle (because work `W = F cos 90^@ = 0)`. Moreover, being normal to `vecv`, it can change only the direction of velocity but cannot change the magnitude of velocity.

Write the expression for the magnetic force vecF acting on a charged particle q moving with vec upsilon in the presence of the magnetic field vec B in a vector form. Show that no work is done and no charge in the magnitude of the velocity of the particle is produced by this force. Hence define the unit of magnetic field.

Write the expression for the magnetic force acting on a, charged particle moving with velocity v in the presence of magnetic field B.

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

What is the direction of the force acting on a charged particle q, moving with a velocity vec(v) a uniform magnetic field vec(B) ?
