Question

The magnetic force which a particle feels is: A) inversely proportional to the velocity B) inversely proportional to the magnetic field C) directly proportional to the electric field D) inversely proportional to the charge E) directly proportional to the charge

Answer 1

Magnetic force is directly proportional to the charge.

Step-by-step explanation:

The magnetic force of a charged particle is given by :

`F=qvB`..... (1)

Where

q = charged particle

v = velocity of particle

B = magnetic field

From equation (1) it is clear that the magnetic force is directly proportional to the charge. Hence, the correct option is (E).
