Which one of the following is not correct about Lorentz Force?

A

In presence of electric field `vecE(r)` ang magnetic field `vecB(r)` the force on a moving electric charge is `vecF=q[vecE(r)+vecvxx vecB(r)]`

B

The force, due to magnetic field on a negative charge is opposite to that on a positive charge.

C

The force due to magnetic field becomes zero if velocity and magnetic field are parallel or anti- parallel.

D

For a static charge the magnetic force is maximum.

The correct Answer is:
To determine which statement about the Lorentz force is incorrect, we will analyze each statement based on the principles of electromagnetism. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Lorentz Force**: The Lorentz force \( \mathbf{F} \) acting on a charged particle moving in electric and magnetic fields is given by the equation: \[ \mathbf{F} = q \mathbf{E} + q (\mathbf{v} \times \mathbf{B}) \] where \( q \) is the charge of the particle, \( \mathbf{E} \) is the electric field, \( \mathbf{v} \) is the velocity of the charge, and \( \mathbf{B} \) is the magnetic field. 2. **Analyzing Statement 1**: Statement 1 claims that in the presence of electric field \( \mathbf{E} \) and magnetic field \( \mathbf{B} \), the force on a moving electrical charge is given by the Lorentz force equation. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **correct**. 3. **Analyzing Statement 2**: Statement 2 states that the force due to a magnetic field on a negative charge is opposite to that of a positive charge. - The magnetic force on a charge is given by \( \mathbf{F} = q (\mathbf{v} \times \mathbf{B}) \). If \( q \) is negative, the direction of the force will be opposite to that for a positive charge. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **correct**. 4. **Analyzing Statement 3**: Statement 3 claims that the force due to the magnetic field becomes zero if the velocity and the magnetic field are parallel or anti-parallel. - The magnetic force depends on the cross product \( \mathbf{v} \times \mathbf{B} \). If \( \mathbf{v} \) and \( \mathbf{B} \) are parallel or anti-parallel, the cross product is zero, hence the force is zero. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **correct**. 5. **Analyzing Statement 4**: Statement 4 asserts that for a static charge, the magnetic force is maximum. - For a static charge, the velocity \( \mathbf{v} = 0 \), which means the magnetic force \( \mathbf{F} = q (\mathbf{v} \times \mathbf{B}) = 0 \). Therefore, the magnetic force is not maximum; it is zero. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **incorrect**. ### Final Answer: The statement that is not correct about Lorentz force is **Statement 4**. ---

To determine which statement about the Lorentz force is incorrect, we will analyze each statement based on the principles of electromagnetism. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Lorentz Force**: The Lorentz force \( \mathbf{F} \) acting on a charged particle moving in electric and magnetic fields is given by the equation: \[ \mathbf{F} = q \mathbf{E} + q (\mathbf{v} \times \mathbf{B}) ...
