A cubical region of space is filled with some uniform electric and magnetic fields. An electron enters the cube across one of its faces with velocity v and a positron enters via opposite face with velocity – v. At this instant,

A

the electric forces on both the particles cause identical accelerations.

B

the magnetic forces on both the particles cause equal accelerations.

C

both particles gain or loose energy at the same rate.

D

the motion of the Centre of Mass (CM) is determined by `vecB` alone.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B, C, D
1. Magnetic force on charges `vecF=q(vecvxxvecB)` be zero. So, both particle gain equal acceleration.
2. Both particle gain and lost equal amount of rate of energy because force on both particles are equal in magnitude and opposite in directions.
3. C.M. of system does not change so we can find it by only `vecB`. So, (B, C and D) options are true.

A loop is formed by two parallel conductors connected by a solenoid with inductance L=2H and a conducting rod of mass m=80g, which can freely (without fricition) slide over the conductors. The conductors are located in a horizontal plane in a uniform vertical magnetic field with induction B=4T. The distance between the conductors is equal to l=4cm. At the moment t=0 the rod is imparted an initial velocity v_(0)=2 cm//s directed to the right. Find the amplitude (in cm) for the oscillations of conducting rod, if the electric resistance of the loop is negligible.
