Question

Problem 16

Answer 1

Given information

Under the uniform magnetic field, a charged particle is performing a circular motion.

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1.

The charged particle will now follow a helical pattern. While going along the direction of the magnetic and electric fields, which is perpendicular to the plane of the initial circle, it will continue on its original circular course. Because the electric field causes the charged particle to accelerate along the electric field lines, the particle will move in a constantly elongating helix as long as the electric field. In Lorentz's force equation, The magnetic field has no effect on the force applied to the charge if the velocity is zero.
