If a negatively charged particle enters a region of uniform magnetic field which is perpendicular to the particles velocity will the kinetic energy of the particle increase decrease or stay the same

Answer:

As the charged particle enters perpendicular to the magnetic field, the force will act perpendicular to the velocity. Thus the particle starts moving in the circular path. As force and displacement are perpendiculars the work done will be zero and kinetic energy will not change.
