An electron and a proton are moving under the influence of mutual forces. In calculating the change in the kinetic energy of the system during motion, one ignores the magnetic force of one on another. This is because, (a) the two magnetic forces are equal and opposite, so they produce no net effect. (b) the magnetic forces do no work on each particle. (c) the magnetic forces do equal and opposite (but nonzero) work on each particle. (d) the magnetic forces are necessarily negligible.

An electron and a proton are moving under the influence

of mutual forces. In calculating the change in the kinetic

energy of the system during motion, one ignores the

magnetic force of one on another. This is because,

(a) the two magnetic forces are equal and opposite, so

they produce no net effect.

(b) the magnetic forces do no work on each particle.

(c) the magnetic forces do equal and opposite (but nonzero)

work on each particle.

(d) the magnetic forces are necessarily negligible.


Answer:b
