which statement describes the magnetic force on a charged particle when the particle is moving at a right angle to the field

Respuesta :

A. It is the strongest force possible.

Explanation:

The force exerted on a charged particle moving in a region with a magnetic field is given by the following equation:

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

where

q is the magnitude of the charge

v is the velocity of the particle

B is the strength of the magnetic field

[tex]\theta[/tex] is the angle between the direction of the velocity and of the field

From the equation, we notice that:

  • The force is maximum when the particle is moving perpendicular to the magnetic field, therefore when [tex]\theta=90^{\circ}[/tex] and [tex]sin \theta=1[/tex]
  • The force is zero when the particle is moving parallel (or anti-parallel) to the magnetic field, therefore when [tex]\theta=0[/tex] and [tex]sin \theta = 0[/tex]

Based on these observation, we can immediately conclude that the only correct option among the given choices is

A. It is the strongest force possible.
