Solution
Correct Answer:
q v B sinθ
A point charge q moving with velocity v in a magnetic field B experiences a Lorentz force: F=q(v×B)
- In magnitude: F=qvBsinθ
- θ is the angle between v and B.
- The force is always perpendicular to both v and B.
- If v is parallel to B (θ=0∘), F=0.
This easy difficulty physics question is from the chapter magnetic effects of current and magnetism, covering the topic of force on moving charge. It appeared in the 2025 exam.
