Questions  

A particle is projected in a gravity free space. If the particle suffers deviation but its kinetic energy remains unchanged, then in that region

a
‘E’ may be zero but ‘B’ must not be zero
b
‘E’ must be zero but ‘B’ must not be zero
c
‘E’ and ‘B’ both must not be zero
d
‘E’ must not be zero but ‘B’ may be zero

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Due to the action of electric force, the kinetic energy of the particle must change but since direction of magnetic force FB→=QV→×B→ is always perpendicular to the direction of motion and hence wok done by magnetic force on the particle is zero and its kinetic energy remains unchanged.Hence option -(2) is correct
