The energy of a charged particle moving in a uniform magnetic field does not change. Why?

The force on a charged particle in a uniform magnetic field always acts in a direction

perpendicular to the motion of the charge. Since work done by the magnetic field on the

charge is zero, hence energy of the charged particle will not change.

Corona discharge

  • When an uncharged body is brought near a charged body having sharp corners there is large number of charges at the corners. Due to induction, they induce large number of opposite charges. This creates a very strong Electric field between them. Finally the dielectric strength breaks-down and there is fast flow of charges. This Spray of charges by spiked object is called Corona discharge. 
  • The lightening arrester work on the principles of Corona discharge where the charge pass through conductor of arrester, and the buildings are saved
