Q. Assertion : Magnetic field can not change kinetic energy of a moving charge.
Reason : Magnetic field can not change velocity vector.

AIIMSAIIMS 2018Moving Charges and Magnetism

Solution:

Magnetic force on moving charge is always perpendicular to its velocity.
$\vec{F}=q\left(\vec{ v}\times\vec{B}\right)$
Also, work done by magnetic force on a moving charge is zero.
