  1. Question 1

    Q1. A charge of 2 μC is moving with a velocity of 4 x 10⁶ m/s perpendicular to a magnetic field of 0.8 T. What is the magnetic force on the charge?

    • A) 6.4 N
    • B) 3.2 N
    • C) 1.6 N
    • D) 0.8 N

    Answer: 6.4 N

    Explanation: F = qvB = 2 x 10⁻⁶ x 4 x 10⁶ x 0.8 = 6.4 N. Option B is wrong due to miscalculation.
