If a velocity has both perpendicular and parallel components while moving through a magnetic field, what is the path followed by a charged particle ?

A

Circular

B

Elliptical

C

Linear

D

Helical

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Parallel component drags the particle to side and perpendicular component gives circular path. Hence the path is helical.
