When the velocity of a relativistic charged particle increases, it's specific charge
- A. Decreases
- B. increases
- C. Remains same
- D. First decreases then increases
Step-by-step solution
Specific charge is charge-to-mass ratio (q/m). Charge q is invariant in relativity, but relativistic mass m = m0 / √(1 - v²/c²) increases with velocity. Therefore, q/m decreases as velocity increases.
