2 thoughts on “SICCIUI.<br />17.<br />Why is the path of a charged particle<br />not a circle when its velocity is not<br />perpendicular to the”
Answer:
Since the magnetic force is perpendicular to the direction of travel, a charged particle follows a curved path in a magnetic field. … The magnetic force is perpendicular to the velocity, so velocity changes in direction but not magnitude. The result is uniform circular motion.
Here always electric field is perpendicular lo magnetic field. So if velocity is not perpendicular to magnetic field, then electric field is also not perpendicular to magnetic field. So path of charged particle changes from circle to towards the direction of magnetic field or opposite the direction of electric field or velocity.( either in direction of electric field or in opposite direction of magnetic field)
