Magnetic Effects Of Current Question 394

Question: An electric charge $ +q $ moves with velocity $ 10m{{s}^{-1}} $ in an electromagnetic field given by $ \overset{\to }{\mathop{E}},=3\hat{i}+\hat{j}+2\hat{k} $ and $ \overset{\to }{\mathop{B}},=\hat{i}+\hat{j}-3\hat{k} $ The y- component of the force experienced by $ +q $ is:

Options:

A) $ 11q $

B) $ 5,q $

C) $ 3,q $

D) $ 2,q $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

[a] Lorentz force acting on the particle

$ \overset{\to }{\mathop{F}},=q[ \overset{\to }{\mathop{E}},+\overset{\to }{\mathop{v}},\times \overset{\to }{\mathop{B}}, ] $ $ =q[ 3\hat{i}+\hat{j}+2\hat{k}+\hat{i}(-12-1)-\hat{j}(-9-1)+k(3-4) ] $

$ F_{y}=11q\hat{j} $
