A charged particle enters a magnetic field H with its initial velocity making an angle of 
with H. The path of the particle will be
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
The component of velocity perpendicular to H will make the motion circular while that parallel to H will make it move along a straight line. The two together will make the motion helical.
