Q49 / 60 · KVPY 2014 (SA) · Physics

A charged particle, initially at rest at $\mathrm{O}$, When released follows atrajectory as shown. Such a trajectory is possible in the presence of Figure

  • Correct answer
    A
    Electric field of constant magnitude and varying direction
  • B
    Magnetic field of constant magnitude and varying direction
  • C
    Electric field of constant magnitude and constant direction
  • D
    Electric and magnetic fields of constant magnitudes and constant directions which are parallel to each other

Solution

In option B it will not move, in option $C \& D$ path will be straight line.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
