A charge of +10 C enters a uniform magnetic field parallel to its direction. What will happen to the charge?
Magnetic field:
A diagram to represent the magnetic field:
Explanation:
As we know that a charged particle's magnetic force is orthogonal to the magnetic field.
So,
So, in a straight line, there is no net force, and the charged particle goes if its velocity is parallel to the magnetic field.
Therefore, the angle between the magnetic field vector B and the velocity vector forms the force.
And, the magnetic force is equal to
So, if the velocity and magnetic field are parallel and no force occurs, then in this condition a charged particle can continue to move in a straight line.
