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 B
D
circular path
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Let 
is component of velocity parallel to the magnetic field and 
is the component of velocity perpendicular to the magnetic field.
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 
.
