A charged particle moves in a uniform magnetic field. The velocity of the particle at some instant makes an acute angle with the magnetic field. The path of the particle will be
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
When particle enters at an angle other than 
to 
or 
, path followed in helix.
Hence path of particle is helix with uniform pitch.
