Question

8.why does the kinetic energy of a charged particle moving in a magnetic field remain constant ?

Open in App
Solution

When charge particle is moving in uniform magnetic field force on the charge particle is given by:F = qVB sinθwhen θ = 90F= qVBso charge particle moves on the circular loop hence this force is balanced by the centripetal force hence velocity of the charge particle remains constant so kinetic energy remains coonstant.
