The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding which of the statements is correct, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze Option 1 **Statement:** If a moving charged particle enters into a region of magnetic field from outside, it does not complete a circular path. - When a charged particle enters a magnetic field perpendicularly, it experiences a magnetic force that acts perpendicular to its velocity. This force causes the particle to move in a circular path. - However, if the particle enters from outside the magnetic field, it will only complete a semicircular path before exiting the field, as it will not have enough distance to complete a full circle. **Conclusion for Option 1:** This statement is correct. ### Step 2: Analyze Option 2 **Statement:** If a moving charged particle traces a helical path in a uniform magnetic field, the axis of the helix is parallel to the magnetic field. - When a charged particle moves at an angle to the magnetic field, it has two components of velocity: one parallel to the magnetic field (v cos θ) and one perpendicular (v sin θ). - The component parallel to the field allows the particle to move forward, while the perpendicular component causes it to move in a circular motion. Therefore, the path traced is indeed helical, and the axis of the helix is parallel to the magnetic field. **Conclusion for Option 2:** This statement is correct. ### Step 3: Analyze Option 3 **Statement:** The power associated with the force exerted by a magnetic field on a moving charged particle is always equal to zero. - The magnetic force acting on a charged particle is always perpendicular to its velocity. Since power is defined as the rate of doing work (P = F · v), and the work done by a force that is perpendicular to the direction of motion is zero, the power associated with the magnetic force is indeed zero. **Conclusion for Option 3:** This statement is correct. ### Step 4: Analyze Option 4 **Statement:** In a region of uniform magnetic field and uniform electric field, a charged particle moving in the region cannot trace a circular path. - In the presence of both electric and magnetic fields, the electric field exerts a force that changes the velocity of the charged particle. The radius of the circular path is given by r = mv/qB. If the velocity (v) changes due to the electric field, the radius (r) also changes, preventing the particle from tracing a complete circular path. **Conclusion for Option 4:** This statement is correct. ### Final Conclusion All four options are correct statements regarding the behavior of charged particles in magnetic and electric fields. ---

To solve the question regarding which of the statements is correct, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze Option 1 **Statement:** If a moving charged particle enters into a region of magnetic field from outside, it does not complete a circular path. - When a charged particle enters a magnetic field perpendicularly, it experiences a magnetic force that acts perpendicular to its velocity.
