Question

A uniform magnetic field will cause a charge to move in a circle if the charge is moving:
Options
A is maximum and steadily perpendicular to v when velocity is at 90 degrees to B, and the radius stays constant only if B is constant.
Correct Answer
B parallel to the field and the field is constant
C perpendicular to the field and the field is increasing
D parallel to the field and the field is increasing
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

F = qvB sin(theta) is maximum and steadily perpendicular to v when velocity is at 90 degrees to B, and the radius stays constant only if B is constant.

Hint

F = qvB sin(theta) is maximum and steadily perpendicular to v when velocity is at 90 degrees to B, and the radius stays constant only if B is constant.
