CASE STUDY BASE QUESTIONS

Read the passage given below and answer the questions asked.

When a charge enters a uniform magnetic field and moves perpendicular to its direction, its path is circular. In such a situation, to move on a circular path, a force is required which is called centripetal force .It gets this centripetal force from the Lorenz force. In such a situation, we can find the radius of the circular path by comparing Lorenz force and centripetal force.

1-what is the Lorentz force?

2-what is centripetal force?

3-write the correct formula for the radius of the circular path.

4-what is the direction of centripetal acceleration during circular motion.

5-in which condition of the motion of a charge Lorentz force will be zero.
