Answer to Problem 18Q
The existence of magnetic field in some region of the space.
Solution:
Explanation of Solution
A moving charged particle is deflected sideways in some region of space even though the magnetic field zero.
If a moving charged particle is deflected sideways in some region of space, we cannot conclude that magnetic field is nonzero. This is because, a moving charged particle can be deflected sideways even by applying electric field perpendicular to the direction of velocity.
Conclusion:
Hence, we cannot conclude that magnetic field is nonzero.
