(2) speed
(3) velocity
(4) momentum
Which of the property a proton can change when it moves freely in a magnetic field ? (There may be more than one correct answer)
(1) mass
(2) speed
(3) velocity
(4) momentum
solution:
Motion of a charged particle like proton in a magnetic field is a circular path. Hence, its velocity and momentum can change.
Thus,
option (3) and (4) are correct.
