The correct Answer is:
To analyze the statements regarding the motion of a charged particle in a uniform magnetic field, let's break down each statement step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement 1 **Statement 1**: A charged particle when projected perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field, its velocity is constant throughout its motion. - 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. - In circular motion, while the speed (magnitude of velocity) remains constant, the direction of the velocity changes continuously. - Therefore, the velocity (which is a vector quantity) is not constant because its direction changes. **Conclusion**: Statement 1 is **false**. ### Step 2: Analyze Statement 2 **Statement 2**: A charged particle, its acceleration is zero. - The acceleration of a charged particle in a magnetic field is given by the formula \( a = \frac{F}{m} \), where \( F \) is the magnetic force. - The magnetic force \( F \) on a charged particle moving in a magnetic field is given by \( F = qvB \sin(\theta) \). Here, \( \theta = 90^\circ \) when the particle is projected perpendicularly, which means \( \sin(90^\circ) = 1 \). - Thus, the force is \( F = qvB \), which is not zero, leading to a non-zero acceleration. **Conclusion**: Statement 2 is **false**. ### Step 3: Analyze Statement 3 **Statement 3**: A charged particle when projected perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field, a magnetic force acts on it but that does not change the particle's speed. - As established, the charged particle experiences a magnetic force that causes it to move in a circular path. - In uniform circular motion, the speed of the particle remains constant, even though the direction of the velocity changes due to the magnetic force acting perpendicular to the velocity. - Therefore, while the particle’s direction changes, its speed (the magnitude of velocity) does not change. **Conclusion**: Statement 3 is **true**. ### Final Conclusion - Statement 1: **False** - Statement 2: **False** - Statement 3: **True** Thus, the correct option is that Statement 3 is true while Statements 1 and 2 are false. ---
