Question:

Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): In an uniform magnetic field, speed and energy remains the same for a moving charged particle.
Reason (R): Moving charged particle experiences magnetic force perpendicular to its direction of motion.

  • Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).

  • Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is NOT the correct explanation of (A)

  • (A) is true but (R) is false

  • (A) is false but (R) is true

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Magnetic force
\(\vec{F}\)\(\vec V\)
 Wb = 0
⇒ ΔKE = 0 and speed remains constant.
The correct option is (A): Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).

Magnetic Field

The magnetic field is a field created by moving electric charges. It is a force field that exerts a force on materials such as iron when they are placed in its vicinity. Magnetic fields do not require a medium to propagate; they can even propagate in a vacuum. Magnetic field also referred to as a vector field, describes the magnetic influence on moving electric charges, magnetic materials, and electric currents.

A magnetic field can be presented in two ways.

  • Magnetic Field Vector: The magnetic field is described mathematically as a vector field. This vector field can be plotted directly as a set of many vectors drawn on a grid. Each vector points in the direction that a compass would point and has length dependent on the strength of the magnetic force.
  • Magnetic Field Lines: An alternative way to represent the information contained within a vector field is with the use of field lines. Here we dispense with the grid pattern and connect the vectors with smooth lines.

Properties of Magnetic Field Lines

  • Magnetic field lines never cross each other
  • The density of the field lines indicates the strength of the field
  • Magnetic field lines always make closed-loops
  • Magnetic field lines always emerge or start from the north pole and terminate at the south pole.
