PART-I PHYSICS
SECTION-A
A charge particle moving in magnetic field 
, has the components of velocity along 
as well as perpendicular to 
. The path of the charge particle will be
A
helical path with the axis perpendicular to the direction of magnetic field 
B
straight along the direction of magnetic field 
C
helical path with the axis along magnetic field 
D
circular path
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Due to component 
, magnetic force 
So 
remains unchanged
but due to component 
magnetic force act towards centre i.e. moving it circular. So path is helical with the axis parallel to magnetic field 
.
