Q150 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2023 (15 May Shift 2) · Physics

The magnetic force $\mathrm{q}[\mathrm{v} \times \mathrm{B}]$ is

  • A
    parallel to both $\mathrm{v}$ and $\mathrm{B}$
  • B
    perpendicular to $\mathrm{v}$
  • Correct answer
    C
    perpendicular to both $\mathrm{v}$ and $\mathrm{B}$
  • D
    parallel to B

Solution

The magnetic force is perpendicular to both $\mathrm{v}$ and $\mathrm{B}$. $\mathrm{F}=\mathrm{q}[\mathrm{v} \times \mathrm{B}]$

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