Magnetic Effects Of Current Question 405

Question: A uniform magnetic field of magnitude IT exists in region y>0 is along k direction as shown. A particle of charge 1 C is projected from point $ (-\sqrt{3},-1) $ towards origin with speed 1 m/sec. If mass of particle is 1 kg, then co-ordinates of centre of circle in which particle moves are-

Options:

A) $ (1,,\sqrt{3}) $

B) $ (1,,-\sqrt{3}) $

C) $ ( \frac{1}{2},-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} ) $

D) $ ( \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2},-\frac{1}{2} ) $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

[c] The centre will be at C as shown : Coordinates of the centre are $ (r,\cos ,60^{o},-r,\sin ,60^{o}) $ where r = radius of circle $ =\frac{mv}{Bq}=\frac{1\times 1}{1\times 1}=1 $ i.e., $ ( \frac{1}{2},-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} ) $
