A static magnetic field CANNOT:
A)exert a force on a charge
B)accelerate a charge
C)change the momentum of a charge
D)change the kinetic energy of a charge
E)exist

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A static magnetic field cannot change the kinetic energy of a charge because it only affects the motion of the charge in a perpendicular direction to the field, causing it to move in a circular motion. The magnitude of the velocity of the charge remains constant, hence its kinetic energy does not change.
