MCQ
A magnetic field exerts no force on :
  • A
    An electrical charge moving perpendicular to its direction...
  • B
    An unmagnetised iron bar.
  • A stationary electric charge.
  • D
    A magnet.

Answer

Correct option: C.
A stationary electric charge.
Magnetic force is given by Lorentz equation as :
$F = q(v \times B)$
Here $, q =$ amount of electric charge $, v =$ velocity of charge and $B =$ magnetic flux
Thus, when velocity of charge​ $(v) = 0,$​​​​​​​ magnetic force $(F) = 0$
