Question

A positively charged particle moving due East enters a region of uniform magnetic field directed vertically upwards. This particle will (A) move in a circular path with a decreased speed (B) move in a circular path with a uniform speed (C) get deflected in vertically upward direction (D) move in circular path with an increased speed.

When a positively charged particle enters in a region of uniform magnetic field, directed vertically upwards, it experiences a centripetal force which will move it in circular path with a uniform speed.

Q. A positively charged particle moving due East enters a region of uniform magnetic field directed vertically upwards. This particle will

move in a circular path with a decreased speed

move in a circular path with a uniform speed

get deflected in vertically upward direction

move in circular path with an increased speed.
