The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of identifying the wrong statements regarding the behavior of charged particles in a magnetic field, we will analyze each statement step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze the First Statement **Statement A:** "The radius of the path of the charged particle in a uniform magnetic field is proportional to the momentum of the particle." - **Formula:** The radius \( r \) of the path of a charged particle moving in a magnetic field is given by the formula: \[ r = \frac{mv}{qB} \] where \( m \) is the mass, \( v \) is the velocity, \( q \) is the charge, and \( B \) is the magnetic field strength. - **Analysis:** The momentum \( p \) of the particle is given by \( p = mv \). Thus, we can rewrite the radius as: \[ r \propto \frac{p}{qB} \] This shows that the radius is directly proportional to the momentum \( p \) of the particle. Hence, this statement is **correct**. ### Step 2: Analyze the Second Statement **Statement B:** "An electron beam is moving towards the east on which a perpendicular magnetic field is acting upwards; the beam will be deflected towards the north direction." - **Direction Analysis:** - The electron is moving east, and the magnetic field is acting upwards (out of the plane). - Using Fleming's Left-Hand Rule (for negative charges), we can determine the direction of the force acting on the electron. - **Result:** The force will be directed towards the north. Therefore, this statement is also **correct**. ### Step 3: Analyze the Third Statement **Statement C:** "The positive charge is going in a straight way from the observer; the magnetic field lines produced due to it are in the clockwise direction." - **Direction Analysis:** - For a positive charge moving straight away from the observer, we apply the Right-Hand Rule. - If the thumb points in the direction of the charge's motion (away from the observer), the fingers curl in the direction of the magnetic field lines. - **Result:** The magnetic field lines will be counterclockwise when viewed from the perspective of the observer. Thus, this statement is **incorrect**. ### Step 4: Analyze the Fourth Statement **Statement D:** "While passing through a given place, if the path of the electron remains a straight line, it can be definitely said that the magnetic field is not present." - **Analysis:** - A charged particle can move in a straight line in a magnetic field if the velocity of the particle is parallel to the magnetic field (i.e., \( \vec{v} \) is parallel to \( \vec{B} \)). - This means that the presence of a magnetic field does not necessarily imply that the path must curve. - **Result:** Therefore, this statement is **incorrect**. ### Conclusion The wrong statements are **C and D**.
