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.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
1
The magnetic force acts in a direction perpendicular to
the direction of velocity and hence it cannot change the speed of
the charged particle. Therefore, the kinetic energy `(=1/2mv^2)`
does not change.
