The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the initial conditions The particle has a mass \( m \), charge \( q \), and is projected with a velocity \( v \) at an angle \( \theta \) with respect to a uniform magnetic field \( B \). The magnetic field is assumed to be along the \( z \)-axis (or \( k \)-direction). ### Step 2: Resolve the initial velocity The initial velocity \( \vec{v} \) can be resolved into two components: - The component parallel to the magnetic field (along the \( z \)-axis): \[ v_z = v \cos \theta \] - The component perpendicular to the magnetic field (in the \( y \)-direction): \[ v_y = v \sin \theta \] Thus, the initial velocity vector can be expressed as: \[ \vec{v}_0 = v \sin \theta \, \hat{j} + v \cos \theta \, \hat{k} \] ### Step 3: Analyze the motion in the magnetic field In a magnetic field, the force on a charged particle is given by the Lorentz force: \[ \vec{F} = q (\vec{v} \times \vec{B}) \] Since the magnetic field is along the \( z \)-axis, the force will act in the \( x \)- and \( y \)-directions, causing circular motion in the plane perpendicular to the magnetic field. ### Step 4: Determine the time of motion The time given in the problem is: \[ t = \frac{\pi m}{2qB} \] This time corresponds to a quarter of the period of revolution of the particle in the magnetic field. ### Step 5: Find the final velocity after time \( t \) After a time \( t \), the particle will have rotated \( 90^\circ \) in the plane perpendicular to the magnetic field. The \( z \)-component of the velocity remains unchanged: \[ v_z = v \cos \theta \] The \( y \)-component of the velocity will change direction: \[ v_y' = -v \sin \theta \] Thus, the final velocity vector after time \( t \) is: \[ \vec{v}_f = -v \sin \theta \, \hat{i} + v \cos \theta \, \hat{k} \] ### Step 6: Calculate the change in velocity The change in velocity \( \Delta \vec{v} \) is given by: \[ \Delta \vec{v} = \vec{v}_f - \vec{v}_0 \] Substituting the values: \[ \Delta \vec{v} = \left(-v \sin \theta \, \hat{i} + v \cos \theta \, \hat{k}\right) - \left(v \sin \theta \, \hat{j} + v \cos \theta \, \hat{k}\right) \] This simplifies to: \[ \Delta \vec{v} = -v \sin \theta \, \hat{i} - v \sin \theta \, \hat{j} \] ### Step 7: Calculate the magnitude of the change in velocity The magnitude of the change in velocity is: \[ |\Delta \vec{v}| = \sqrt{(-v \sin \theta)^2 + (-v \sin \theta)^2} = \sqrt{2(v \sin \theta)^2} = v \sin \theta \sqrt{2} \] ### Final Answer The magnitude of the change in velocity of the particle after time \( t \) is: \[ |\Delta \vec{v}| = v \sqrt{2} \sin \theta \]
