Q82 / 270 · NDA 2014 (Phase 2) · General Ability

A force $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}}$, acting on an electric charge $q$, in presence of an electromagnetic field, moves the charge parallel to the magnetic field with velocity $\vec{v}$. Then $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}}$ is equal to (where $\vec{E}$ and $\vec{B}$ are electric field and magnetic field respectively)

  • Correct answer
    A
    $q \overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}}$
  • B
    $q(\vec{v} \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}})$
  • C
    $q(\vec{v} \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}})$
  • D
    $q \overrightarrow{\mathrm{~B}}$

Solution

The correct answer is option (A)

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