2. A particle moves along a curved path if it moves in the presence of a magnetic 
field. 
Now, when there is an angular projection, i.e. when the velocity of the particle is 
at an angle with respect to the magnetic field, then the particle will move in a 
helical path. 
The vertical component (vsin ?) will be perpendicular to the field and hence will 
rotate the particle in a circular path. However, the horizontal component (vcos ?) 
will move the particle in a straight line path. So, the cumulative motion of the 
particle is a helix. 
 
3. The mobility of a charge carrier is defined as the drift velocity per unit electric 
field.

4. The work done in moving a charge along any circular path is zero. So, to move a 
point charge Q around a circular arc of radius ‘r’ at the centre of which another 
point charge ‘q’ is located, no work has to be done. 
 
5. During fog, the light coming from an object is partly deflected by the particles of 
the fog and does not reach the eye of the observer. Thus, the objects are not 
seen clearly. 
The phenomenon is called scattering of light.
