Work done to move a charge along a close...

Work done to move a charge along a closed path inside an electric field is always zero. Use this fact to prove that it is impossible to produce an electric field in which all the lines of force would be parallel straight lines and the density of their distribution would constantly increase in a direction perpendicular to the lines of force as shown in Figure.​

Force on a charge in electric and magnetic fields A charge particle follows a parabolic path in a uniform electric field and a charged particel moving in a uniform magnetic field has two kinds of motions lnear motion in the direction of magnetic field and circular motion in a plane perpendicular to the magnetic field. when charge q is moving perpendicular to the magnetic field B, the radius of the circular path is r=(mv)/(Bq) . If v and B makes an angle theta , then r=(mvsintheta)/(Bq) , and the time period T=(2pim)/(Bq) . When a charged particle q is moving with velocity vecv in a magnetic field vecB , the force is non-zero. It means.
