Consider a magnetic force acting on an electric charge in a uniform magnetic field. Which of the following statements are true? Check all that apply. Check all that apply. The direction of the magnetic force acting on a moving charge in a magnetic field is perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field. An electric charge moving parallel to a magnetic field experiences a magnetic force. The direction of the magnetic force acting on a moving electric charge in a magnetic field is perpendicular to the direction of motion. A magnetic force is exerted on a stationary electric charge in a uniform magnetic field. A magnetic force is exerted on an electric charge moving through a uniform magnetic field if the velocity of the charge is not parallel to the magnetic field. An electric charge moving perpendicular to a magnetic field experiences a magnetic force.

Answer :

Explanation:

The magnetic force acting on the charged particle in magnetic field is given by :

[tex]F=qvB\ \sin\theta[/tex]

Here,

q is the charged particle

v is the speed of particle

B is magnetic field

[tex]\theta[/tex] is the angle between the v and B.

The correct statements for the magnetic force are :

  • An electric charge moving perpendicular to a magnetic field experiences a magnetic force. In this case, [tex]\theta=90^{\circ}[/tex]. It will experience maximum force.
  • The direction of the magnetic force acting on a moving electric charge in a magnetic field is perpendicular to the direction of motion.
  • A magnetic force is exerted on an electric charge moving through a uniform magnetic field.
  • The direction of the magnetic force acting on a moving charge in a magnetic field is perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field.
