Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When a charged particle moves perpendicular to a magnetic field, the magnetic force acts as a centripetal force, changing the direction of the particle's velocity but not its magnitude. This results in a circular or spiral motion without a change in the particle's speed, energy, mass, magnitude of momentum, or charge.
