MCQ
If a charged particle kept at rest experiences an electromagnetic force:
  • A
    The electric field must not be zero.
  • B
    The magnetic field must not be zero.
  • C
    The electric field may or may not be zero.
  • D
    The magnetic field may or may not be zero.

Answer

  1. The electric field must not be zero.
  1. The magnetic field may or may not be zero.

Explanation:

Since particle is at rest, i.e. v=0, hence Fm=0

For electric force, E≠0
