A particle of mass m and charge q is incident on xz plane with velocity v in a direction making angle `theta` with a uniform magnetic field applied along x-axis. The nature of motion performed by the particle is _______ .

A

Circular

B

Helical

C

Parabola

D

Straight line

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Due to parallel component of velocity to the field particle moves in direction of field and due to perpendicular component of velocity particle follows circular path so combined path is helical.
