Question

Which of the following particles will experience maximum magnetic force (magnitude) when projected with the same velocity perpendicular to a magnetic field?
(a) Electron
(b) Proton
(c) He+
(d) Li++

Solution

(d) Li++

Force on a moving charged particle,
F = qVBsinθ
​As velocity V and magnetic field B are constant, and angle between the magnetic field and charged particle is 90°, the only thing on which force F depends is charge q.
Now, the charge on Li++ > charge on electron, proton or He+. So the force is maximum for Li++.
