Assertion (A): A charged particle is moving with velocity v in \({x}-{y}\) plane, making an angle \(\theta\left(0 \lt \theta \lt \frac{\pi}{2}\right)\)  with x-axis. If a uniform magnetic field \(\overrightarrow{{B}}\) is applied in the region, along \(y\) -axis, the particle will move in a helical path with its axis parallel to x-axis.
Reason \((R)\) : The direction of the magnetic force acting on a charged particle moving in a magnetic field is along the velocity of the particle.

  1. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
  2. Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
  3. A is true but R is false.
  4. Both A and R are false.

Answer

(D) Both A and R are false.
