Q. A charged particle moves through a magnetic field perpendicular to its direction then.

KCETKCET 2022

Solution:

since the charged particle enters perpendicular to magnetic field, it describes circular path. Since velocity and force are mutually perpendicular, no change in the velocity. Hence both momentum and kinetic energy remains constant.
