Question

A charged particle moving in a magnetic field experiences a resultant force ?

• A. In the direction opposite to the field
• B. In the direction of field
• C. In the direction perpendicular to both the field and its velocity
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C In the direction perpendicular to both the field and its velocity

As, $F=q(v\times B)$

Thus, force is perpendicular to both the vectors velocity and magnetic field.
