TRUE OR FALSE A stationary charged particle can be affected by an external magnetic field, via magnetic force.

Solutions

Expert Solution

Ans) The statement is FALSE.

Lorentz Force Law states that magnetic force on a charged particle in magnetic field is given by, F= q v x B

Where, v: velocity

B : magnetic field

q : charge on the particle

Letters in bold are vectors.

if velocity (v) =0, then F=0. Therefore, there is no magnetic force on stationary charges in a stationary/ constant magnetic field.

In case of a time varying magnetic field, the time varying magnetic field creates an electric field as per the relation. Then this electric field will exert an electric force on the charge and charge will experience net force. However, the magnetic force on the charge is still zero. Therefore, a stationary charged particle cannot be affected by external magnetic force via magnetic force.

The potential energy of a magnetic moment in an external magnetic field is U = - ??B. U is smallest when B is parallel to ? and largest when it is antiparallel. Since the magnetic moment of the electron is directed opposite to its spin (because it has a negative charge), the electron’s energy is highest when the spin is parallel to B. The two possible energy states for the electron are the spin up state (ms = 1212) and...
