Question

Why does no force act on an uncharged particle in magnetic field

Open in App

Solution

Dear Student,

When a charged particle such as an electron moves in a magnetic field there is a force on it.

This force is affected by the charge on the particle so when no charge is present then there is no any force acting on it.
