Question

An experiment consists of a tube standing perfectly perpendicular to the surface of the earth. A perfectly uniform magnetic field points from the top of the tube to the surface of the earth. The magnetic field is much stronger than that of the earth. A small loop of wire is dropped into the top of the apparatus and it falls under gravity, starting off perfectly parallel to the earth's surface. Under what circumstance is an emf induced in the small loop of wire?

Answer

Under no circumstances since electric current is not at all related to magnetic field

Under all circumstances since the loop is accelerating under gravity

The loop rotates about an axis as it falls, so it does not stay perfectly parallel to earth's surface

Under no circumstances, since the magnetic field in the apparatus is perfectly uniform

Provided that the loop stays perfectly parallel to the earth's surface as it falls



A massive charged particle moves in a helical path in a uniform magnetic field. Which of the following statements is true?

Answer

The speed of the particle changes

The particle has zero component of velocity perpendicular to the magnetic field

The particle has a non-zero component of velocity parallel to the magnetic field

The kinetic energy of the particle changes since it is exhibiting helical motion

The particle has zero acceleration
