The magnetic force on a charged particle moving with velocity v is
Take Free Practice Test On 2026 JAMB UTME, Post UTME, WAEC SSCE, GCE, NECO SSCE
  • A Proportional to both the magnitude of the charge and the velocity v
  • B Independent of the magnitude of the charge
  • C Proportional to the velocity v only
  • D Proportional to the magnitude of the charge only
Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation:
The magnetic force on a charge is given by
F = qVB Sinθ,
thus the force is proportional to both the magnitude by the charge (q) and the velocity (V)
(i/e F α qV)
