The force exerted on an electron moving in a magnetic field is maximum when the electron moves

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The force exerted on a charged particle moving in a magnetic field is given by the formula F = qvBsinθ, where q is the charge of the particle, v is its velocity, B is the strength of the magnetic field, and θ is the angle between the velocity vector and the magnetic field vector. The maximum force occurs when sinθ = 1, which happens when the particle's velocity vector is perpendicular to the magnetic field vector (i.e., when θ = 90°). Therefore, choice B is the correct answer.
