Magnetic force exerted on charge moving ...

Magnetic force exerted on charge moving in magnetic field is _____

A

in the direction of magnetic field.

B

in the opposite direction of magnetic field.

C

is perpendicular to both, velocity and field.

D

is parallel to both, velocity and field.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
We have `vecF=q(vecvxxvecB)`
`rArr` Direction of `vecF` will be in the direction of `(vecvxxvecB)`, which is perpendicular to both, `vecv` as well as `vecB`.
