A charged particle moves through a region of magnetic field pointing in the direction perpendicular to its direction of velocity. Then during its subsequent motion,

(1)	Its momentum changes but the kinetic energy remains constant.
(2)	Its momentum and kinetic energy both changes.
(3)	Its momentum and kinetic energy both remains constant.
(4)	Its kinetic energy changes but the momentum remains constant.

Q. A charged particle enters a uniform magnetic field perpendicular to the direction of magnetic field. How will its kinetic energy and momentum change?

Q. When a proton moves in a uniform magnetic field, the momentum change but its kinetic energy does not change because :

Q. Assertion :A magnetic field independent of time can change the velocity of a charged particle. Reason: It is not possible to change the velocity of a particle in a magnetic field as magnetic field does no work on the charged particle.

How does magnetic force only affect direction of velocity and not kinetic energy? As kinetic energy = 1/2 MVsquare and depends on velocity.
