An Intiative by Sri Chaitanya

Starting with zero velocity ,it accelerates in a direction perpendicular to the magnetic field

While deflection in magnetic field its energy gradually increases

Only the component of magnetic field perpendicular to the directions of motion of the charged particle is effective in deflecting it

Directions of deflecting force on the moving charged particle is perpendicular to its velocity

answer is C, D.

Detailed Solution

Magnetic field can not increase speed of a charged particle. Since magnetic field never changes speed thus no change in energy will happen . since the component of magnetic field perpendicular to the motion can affect the direction of velocity it can make it in circular path centripetal force is always perpendicular to its velocity direction
