The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will break it down into two parts as requested: ### Part (a): Magnitude of Electric Field at Point (0, a) 1. **Identify Initial and Final Conditions**: - The particle enters the first quadrant at point (0, a) with initial velocity \( \vec{v_i} = v \hat{i} \). - The particle leaves the quadrant at point (2a, 0) with final velocity \( \vec{v_f} = -2v \hat{j} \). 2. **Apply Work-Energy Theorem**: - The work done by the electric field is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the particle. - The kinetic energy at the initial point is: \[ KE_i = \frac{1}{2} m v^2 \] - The kinetic energy at the final point is: \[ KE_f = \frac{1}{2} m (-2v)^2 = \frac{1}{2} m (4v^2) = 2mv^2 \] - The change in kinetic energy (\( \Delta KE \)) is: \[ \Delta KE = KE_f - KE_i = 2mv^2 - \frac{1}{2} mv^2 = \frac{4mv^2 - mv^2}{2} = \frac{3mv^2}{2} \] 3. **Relate Work Done to Electric Field**: - The work done by the electric field \( W \) can be expressed as: \[ W = qE \cdot d \] - Here, \( d \) is the distance moved in the direction of the electric field. The particle moves from (0, a) to (2a, 0), which is a distance of \( \sqrt{(2a - 0)^2 + (0 - a)^2} = \sqrt{4a^2 + a^2} = \sqrt{5a^2} = a\sqrt{5} \). 4. **Set up the equation**: - Equating the work done to the change in kinetic energy: \[ qE \cdot a\sqrt{5} = \frac{3mv^2}{2} \] 5. **Solve for Electric Field \( E \)**: - Rearranging gives: \[ E = \frac{3mv^2}{2qa\sqrt{5}} \] ### Part (b): Rate of Work Done by Both Fields at (2a, 0) 1. **Calculate the Electric Force**: - The electric force \( \vec{F_e} \) on the particle is given by: \[ \vec{F_e} = qE \hat{i} \] 2. **Calculate the Magnetic Force**: - The magnetic force \( \vec{F_m} \) is given by: \[ \vec{F_m} = q(\vec{v} \times \vec{B}) \] - At point (2a, 0), the velocity \( \vec{v} = -2v \hat{j} \) and \( \vec{B} = B \hat{k} \): \[ \vec{F_m} = q(-2v \hat{j} \times B \hat{k}) = -2qvB (\hat{j} \times \hat{k}) = -2qvB (-\hat{i}) = 2qvB \hat{i} \] 3. **Total Force**: - The total force \( \vec{F} \) acting on the particle is: \[ \vec{F} = \vec{F_e} + \vec{F_m} = qE \hat{i} + 2qvB \hat{i} = q(E + 2vB) \hat{i} \] 4. **Rate of Work Done**: - The rate of work done \( P \) by the electric and magnetic fields is given by: \[ P = \vec{F} \cdot \vec{v} = q(E + 2vB)(-2v \hat{j}) \cdot \hat{i} = 0 \] - Since the electric and magnetic forces are perpendicular to the velocity, the rate of work done is zero. ### Final Answers: - (a) Magnitude of Electric Field at point (0, a): \[ E = \frac{3mv^2}{2qa\sqrt{5}} \] - (b) Rate of work done by both fields at (2a, 0): \[ P = 0 \]
