Question

A proton is traveling due north. If a uniform magnetic field is applied vertically down then the particle
a) deflected towards west
b) revolves in anti clock wise direction
c) acquires acceleration
d) comes to rest
  1. a, b, c are correct
  2. b, c, d are correct
  3. b, d are wrong
  4. a, d are wrong

A
a, b, c are correct
B
a, d are wrong
C
b, d are wrong
D
b, c, d are correct
Solution
Verified by Toppr

F=q(V×B)
So, V×B direction will be in west by right hand thumb rule. So, it will revolves in anti-clockwise direction and it acquires radial acceleration.
