Options:
  • A zero because $\vec{F}$ acts parallel to $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{v}}$
  • B positive because $\vec{F}$ acts perpendicular to $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{v}}$
  • C zero because $\vec{F}$ acts perpendicular to $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{v}}$
  • D negative because $\vec{F}$ acts parallel to $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{v}}$

The correct answer is: zero because $\vec{F}$ acts perpendicular to $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{v}}$
Force on moving charge while moving in magnetic field is; $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}}=\mathrm{q}(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{v}} \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}})$ where $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}}$ is perpendicular to $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{V}}$.
Work done/sec $=\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}} \cdot \overrightarrow{\mathrm{v}}=\mathrm{Fv} \cos 90^{\circ}=0$
