JEE MainPhysicsMagneticsMCQ+4 / −1
The electrostatic force and magnetic force acting on a charge moving with velocity can be written :
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
-
Recall the standard expressions for force on a charge :
-
Electrostatic force:
-
Magnetic force on a charge moving with velocity :
-
-
Now check each option:
Option A:
- First expression is wrong because electrostatic force depends on , not .
- Hence, A is incorrect.
Option B:
- These are dot products, giving scalars, whereas force is a vector.
- Hence, B is incorrect.
Option C:
- This exactly matches the standard formulas.
- Hence, C is correct.
Option D:
- Since cross product is anti-commutative,
- So this gives the opposite direction of magnetic force.
- Hence, D is incorrect.
-
Final Answer:
-
Comparison with stored correct answer:
- Stored correct answer: C
- Derived answer: C
- They match.
