Question

A charged particle enters a region of uniform magnetic field at an angle of 85^@ to the magnetic line of force. The path of the particle is a circle. Is this statement true or false?

Answer 1

Answer:

yes it will follow circular path

Explanation:

hope the answer will help you

Answer 2

Due to its velocity along the path of magnetic field it will also move in the forward direction making  a helix path.

Therefore this statement is false.

Explanation:

A charged particle enters a region of uniform magnetic field at an angle of 85° to the magnetic line of force. The path of the particle is a circle.

As it is clear from the statement that the magnetic filed is in vertical direction and the particle is moving in the first quadrant making an angle of 85° and the velocity will be in x- direction due to which the particle will move in circular path.

Due to its velocity along the path of magnetic field it will also move in the forward direction making  a helix path.

Therefore this statement is false.
