The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the coordinates of the center of the circular path of a charged particle projected in a magnetic field, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Problem**: - We have a charged particle with charge \(2q\) and mass \(m\). - It is projected from the origin (0, 0) in the XY plane with a velocity \(v\) at an angle of \(45^\circ\) with the positive X-axis. - There is a uniform magnetic field \(B\) directed along the positive Z-axis. 2. **Components of Velocity**: - The velocity \(v\) can be resolved into its components: \[ v_x = v \cos(45^\circ) = \frac{v}{\sqrt{2}}, \quad v_y = v \sin(45^\circ) = \frac{v}{\sqrt{2}} \] 3. **Magnetic Force**: - The magnetic force \(F\) acting on the particle is given by: \[ F = q(\mathbf{v} \times \mathbf{B}) \] - Here, the charge \(q = 2q\) and the magnetic field \(B\) is along the Z-axis. - The magnitude of the magnetic force can be calculated as: \[ F = 2q \cdot v \cdot B \] 4. **Centripetal Force**: - This magnetic force acts as the centripetal force required for circular motion: \[ F = \frac{mv^2}{r} \] - Setting the two expressions for force equal gives: \[ 2qvB = \frac{mv^2}{r} \] 5. **Solving for Radius \(r\)**: - Rearranging the above equation to find the radius \(r\): \[ r = \frac{mv}{2qB} \] 6. **Coordinates of the Center of the Circular Path**: - The center of the circular path will be offset from the origin due to the circular motion. - The coordinates of the center can be determined using the radius and the angle of projection: - The X-coordinate of the center will be: \[ x = r \cos(45^\circ) = \frac{mv}{2qB} \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{mv}{2qB\sqrt{2}} \] - The Y-coordinate of the center will be: \[ y = -r \sin(45^\circ) = -\frac{mv}{2qB} \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} = -\frac{mv}{2qB\sqrt{2}} \] - The Z-coordinate is 0 since the motion is confined to the XY plane. 7. **Final Coordinates**: - Thus, the coordinates of the center of the circular path are: \[ \left( \frac{mv}{2qB\sqrt{2}}, -\frac{mv}{2qB\sqrt{2}}, 0 \right) \]
