STANDARD Physics Motion of Charged Particles in Magnetic Field Assertion Reason Question

Type: Assertion Reason-conceptual-Medium

Assertion: Magnetic field can not change kinetic energy of a moving charge. Reason: Magnetic field can not change velocity vector.

A

Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

B

Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

C

Assertion is true but reason is false.

D

Both assertion and reason are false.

Correct Answer
