MCQ
If a charged particle kept at rest experiences an electromagnetic force:
- AThe electric field must not be zero.
- BThe magnetic field must not be zero.
- CThe magnetic field may or may not be zero.
- ✓A and C both
✓
Answer
Correct option: D.
A and C both
Explanation:
Since particle is at rest, i.e. v=0, hence Fm=0
For electric force, E≠0
Since particle is at rest, i.e. v=0, hence Fm=0

Imagine a world where free magnetic charges exist. In this world, a circuit is made with a $U$-shape wire and a rod free to slide on it. A current carried by free magnetic charges can flow in the circuit. When the circuit is placed in a uniform electric field $E$ perpendicular to the plane of the circuit and the rod is pulled to the right with a constant speed $v$, the magnetic emf in the current and the direction of the corresponding current, arising because of changing electric flux will be ( $l$ is the length of the rod and $c$ is speed of light)
