Question

which of the folloing property of a proton can change while it moves freely in a magnetic field ?

will kineic energy also change because velocity changes so kinetic energy should also change

Open in App
Solution

Magnetic force on a proton can change velocity and momentum.

​​​​Magnetic force is always perpendicular to velocity so that it does no work on the charged particle.
The particles kinetic energy and speed thus remain constant
