Q89 / 270 · NDA 2023 (Phase 1) · General Ability

A positive charge is moving towards south in a space where magnetic field is pointing in the north direction. The moving charge will experience :

  • A
    a deflecting force towards north direction.
  • B
    a deflecting force towards east direction.
  • C
    a deflecting force towards west direction.
  • Correct answer
    D
    no deflecting force.

Solution

- The particle will be deflected towards the west. - This states that whenever a current-carrying conductor or charge is placed in a magnetic field, the charge experiences a force that is perpendicular to both the magnetic field and the direction of the charge's motion.

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