    A charged particle enters a magnetic field H with its initial velocity making an angle of\[45{}^\circ \] with H. The path of the particle will be

    A)  straight line     

    B)  a circle

    C)  an ellipse           

    D)  a helix

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     The component of velocity perpendicular to H will make the motion circular while that parallel to H will make it move along a straight line. The two together will make the motion helical.
