Question

The motion of a charged particle can be used to distinguish between

Answer 1

Answer:

Parallel to the field..magnetic force will not act so will have no effect on charge.. but electric force will act nd charge will acclrt or decelerate..

Answer 2

The motion of a charged particle can be used to distinguish between electric field and magnetic field in a certain region.

Explanation:

• The motion of a charged particle can be used to distinguish between the electric field and magnetic field in a certain region.
• The charged particle is either parallel to the field or perpendicular to the field.
• The particle is perpendicular to the magnetic field because the magnetic force on a charged particle is always perpendicular in the direction towards its velocity.
