Physics

A uniform magnetic field exerts a force on a moving charge whichis equal to the charge times the vector product of the velocity andthe magnetic field. Can this force change the magnitude of thevelocity of the charge? Explain. Can both uniform electric andmagnetic fields exist (for non-zero fields) where the net force ona charge is zero? If so, what are the constraints on the fields? Ifnot, why not?

Ansa The magnetic force on the moving charge is equal to thecharge times the vector cross product of the velocity and themagnetic field So the force is perpendicular to thevelocity of the chargeand the magnetic field too Since nocomponent of the force is along the velocity of the    See Answer
