A long solenoid carrying a current I is placed with its axis vertical as shown in the figure. A particle of mass m and charge q is released from the top of the solenoid. Its acceleration is (g being acceleration due to gravity)
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
As magnetic field and velocity of charge is in same direction, so magnetic force on it is zero. Hence, it falls with acceleration equal to g.
