Under what conditions is the force acting on a charge moving through a uniform magnetic field is maximum?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Force acting on a moving charge in uniform magnetic field is
`F = B qv sin theta`
Clearly F will be maximum when `theta = 90^(@)` i.e., charged particle moves at right angle to the direction of magnetic field.
`F_("maxi") = B qv sin 90= Bqv`
`F_("maxi") = Bqv`
