Question

Two charged particles are projected into a region in which a magnetic field is perpendicular to their velocities. After they enter the magnetic field, you can conclude that (A) the charges are deflected in opposite directions (B) the charges continue to move in a straight line (C) the charges move in circular paths (D) the charges move in circular paths but in opposite directions

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

When a charged particle is projected into a region of magnetic field such that magnetic field is perpendicular to the velocity vector of charged particles, then charged particles will follow circular path.

Q. Two charged particles are projected into a region in which a magnetic field is perpendicular to their velocities. After they enter the magnetic field, you can conclude that

the charges are deflected in opposite directions

the charges continue to move in a straight line

the charges move in circular paths

the charges move in circular paths but in opposite directions

When a charged particle is projected into a region of magnetic field such that magnetic field is perpendicular to the velocity vector of charged particles, then charged particles will follow circular path.
