Question

A charged particle will continue to move in the same direction in a region, where \(E\) - Electric field, \(B\) - Magnetic field:

• A. \(E = 0, B = 0\)
• B. \(E \neq 0, B \neq 0\)
• C. \(E = 0, B \neq 0\)
• D. \(E \neq 0, B = 0\)
• E. \(E = B \neq 0\)

Hint:

In the absence of external fields, a charged particle will continue its motion unchanged due to its inertia (Newton's First Law).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

A charged particle will continue to move in the same direction if there are no external forces acting on it. This condition is met when both the electric field \(E\) and the magnetic field \(B\) are zero, eliminating electric and magnetic forces, respectively.
