- A
- Bzero
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
-
Magnetic force on a moving charge
A charge moving with velocity in a magnetic field experiences the Lorentz force
-
Direction of magnetic force
Since the field is transverse, at every instant. Therefore, the magnetic force is always perpendicular to the velocity.
So,
-
Work done by force
The rate of doing work is
Since ,
Hence the magnetic field does no work on the particle at any instant.
-
Over one full circular revolution
Because the magnetic force only changes the direction of velocity, not its magnitude, the kinetic energy remains constant. Therefore, the total work done over one complete circle is
-
Option check
- A: This is force distance, but this is not valid here because force is always perpendicular to displacement.
- B: zero ✅
- C: ❌ dimensionally not work.
- D: ❌ though dimensions match work, magnetic force does no work.
Therefore, the correct answer is B: zero.
