An electron and a proton are moving under the influence of mutual forces. In calculating the change in the kinetic energy of the system during motion, one ignores the magnetic force of one on another. This is because,

A

the two magnetic forces are equal and opposite so they produce no net effect.

B

the magnetic forces do no work on each particle

C

the magnetic forces do equal and opposite (but non-zero) work on each particle.

D

the magnetic forces are necessarily negligible.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
As the magnetic forces due to motion of electron and proton act in a direction perpendicular to the direction of motion, no work is done by these forces That is why one ignores the magnetic force of one particle on another

Assertion: Internal forces cannot change linear momentum. Reason: Internal forces can change the kinetic energy of a system.

A : Internal forces can change the kinetic energy but not the momentum of the system. R : The net internal force on a system is always zero.

A particle is moving under the influence of a force which is fixed in magnitude and acting at an angle theta in the direction of motion. The path described by the particle is

There is no change in the energy of a charged particle moving in a magnetic field although a magnetic force is acting on it . True/False.

An electron and a proton are moving with the same kinetic energy along the same direction, When they pass through a uniform magnetic field perpendicular to the direction of their motion, they describe circular path of the same radius. Is this statement true or false?

Statement 1: A charged particle is moving in a circular path under the action of a uniform magnetic field as shown in Fig. During motion kinetic energy of charged particle is costant. Statement 2: During the motion, magnetic force acting on the particle is perpendicular to instantaneous velocity.

A long cylindrical wire carries a positive charge of linear density 2.0 x 10^(-8) C m^(-1). An electron revolves around it in a circular path under the influence of the attractive electrostatic force. Find the kinetic energy of the electron. Note that it is independent of the radius.

A particle moves in one dimension from rest under the influence of a force that varies with the distance travelled by the particle as shown in the figure. The kinetic energy of the particle after it has travelled 3m is:
