Identify the condition under which the force acting on a charge moving through a uniform magnetic field is maximum.(a) θ = 90^o(b) θ = 180^o(c) θ = 0^o(d) θ = 360^oThe question was posed to me during an online exam.The query is from Magnetic Force topic in division Moving Charges and Magnetism of Physics – Class 12

Answer»

The correct answer is (a) θ = 90^o

The explanation is: When θ = 90^o→ Fmis MAXIMUM.

Thus a charge EXPERIENCES a maximum force when it moves perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic FIELD. So, this is the condition when the force EXPERIENCED is maximum.
