The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the force on a charge \( q \) moving in an electric field \( E \) and a magnetic field \( B \), we can break it down into steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the forces acting on the charge**: - The charge \( q \) experiences two types of forces: one due to the electric field and another due to the magnetic field. 2. **Calculate the force due to the electric field**: - The force \( F_e \) on the charge due to the electric field \( E \) is given by the formula: \[ F_e = qE \] - Here, \( q \) is the charge and \( E \) is the electric field strength. 3. **Calculate the force due to the magnetic field**: - The force \( F_m \) on the charge moving with velocity \( v \) in a magnetic field \( B \) is given by the formula: \[ F_m = q(v \times B) \] - This is a vector product, meaning the direction of the force is determined by the right-hand rule, and \( v \) is the velocity of the charge. 4. **Combine the forces**: - The net force \( F \) acting on the charge \( q \) is the sum of the electric force and the magnetic force: \[ F = F_e + F_m \] - Substituting the expressions for \( F_e \) and \( F_m \): \[ F = qE + q(v \times B) \] 5. **Final expression for the net force**: - Therefore, the total force on the charge \( q \) can be expressed as: \[ F = qE + q(v \times B) \] ### Final Answer: The force on the charge \( q \) moving in the presence of electric field \( E \) and magnetic field \( B \) is: \[ F = qE + q(v \times B) \]

    A fine pencil of beta -particles, moving with a speed v, enters a region (region I), where a uniform electric field and a uniform magnetic field are both present. These beta -particles then move into region II where only the magnetic field, (out of the two fields present in region I) exists. The path of the beta -particles, in the two regions is as shown in the figure. (i) state the direction of magnetic field. (ii) state the relation between E and B in region I. (iii) Drive the expression for the radius of the circular path of the beta -particle in region II. (iv) If the magnitude of magnetic field, in region II is changed to n times its earlier value, (without changing the magnetic field in region I) find the factor by which the radius of this circular path would change.
