When a charged particle moving with velocity v is subjected to a magnetic field of induction B, the force on it is non-zero. This implies that
- angle between v and B is either zero or 180
- angle between v and B is necessarily 90
- angle between v and B can have any value other than 90
- angle between v and B can have any value other than zero and 180
Answer
(4) angle between v and B can have any value other than zero and 180
Solution
As per NCERT, F = q( v B), so F = qvB
F = 0 only when = 0, i.e. = 0 or 180 (v parallel or antiparallel to B).
A non-zero force means θ can have any value other than zero and 180 (90 is only the case of maximum force).
Answer: (4)
