MCQ
When a charged particle moves through a magnetic field, the quantity which is not affected in the magnetic field is:
- AParticle velocity
- BParticle acceleration
- CLinear momentum of the particle
- ✓Kinetic energy of the particle
✓
Answer
Correct option: D.
Kinetic energy of the particle
Magnetic field does zero work on moving charged particles. Therefore, kinetic energy of particle remains constant.
