Magnetic Effects Of Current Question 409

Question: A particle of charge q and mass m starts moving from the origin under the action of an electric field $ \overset{\to }{\mathop{E}},=E_{0}\hat{i} $ and $ \overset{\to }{\mathop{B}},=B_{0}\hat{i} $ with velocity $ \overset{\to }{\mathop{v}},=v_{0}\hat{j} $ .The speed of the particle will become $ 2v_{0} $ after time

Options:

A) $ t=\frac{2mv_{0}}{qE} $

B) $ t=\frac{2Bq}{mv_{0}} $

C) $ t=\frac{\sqrt{3}Bq}{mv_{0}} $

D) $ t=\frac{\sqrt{3}mv_{0}}{qE} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

[d] Electric force on the particle, $ F=Eq $ , and displacement $ s=\frac{1}{2}at^{2}=\frac{1}{2}( \frac{Eq}{m} )t^{2} $ . Now, $ W=\Delta K $ , or $ Fs=\frac{1}{2}m(v_{f}^{2}-v_{i}^{2}) $ or $ Eq\times \frac{1}{2}( \frac{Eq}{m} )t^{2} $ $ =\frac{1}{2}m[{{(2v_{0})}^{2}}-v_{0}^{2}] $
$ \therefore t=\frac{\sqrt{3}mv_{0}}{qE} $
