MCQ
A particle is moving in a uniform magnetic field, then
- ✓Its momentum changes but total energy remains the same
- BBoth momentum and total energy remain the same
- CBoth will change
- DTotal energy changes but momentum remains the same
✓
Answer
Correct option: A.
Its momentum changes but total energy remains the same
a
(a) The charged particle moving in a magnetic field does not gain energy. However, the direction of its velocity changes continuously. Hence momentum changes.
