The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the motion of the charged particle under the influence of the electric field and then the magnetic field. ### Step 1: Analyze the initial conditions The charged particle of mass \( m \) and charge \( -q \) is projected from the origin with speed \( 2v \) at an angle of \( 60^\circ \) with the positive x-axis. **Components of the initial velocity:** - The x-component of the velocity: \[ v_x = 2v \cos(60^\circ) = 2v \cdot \frac{1}{2} = v \] - The y-component of the velocity: \[ v_y = 2v \sin(60^\circ) = 2v \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = v\sqrt{3} \] ### Step 2: Determine the effect of the electric field The electric field \( E \) is directed along the positive y-axis. Since the charge of the particle is negative, the force \( F \) on the particle due to the electric field is directed downwards (negative y-direction). **Force due to electric field:** \[ F = -qE \] **Acceleration of the particle:** Using Newton's second law, the acceleration \( a \) in the y-direction is: \[ a_y = \frac{F}{m} = \frac{-qE}{m} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the time to reach a specific x-coordinate We need to find the time \( t \) when the x-coordinate of the particle becomes: \[ x = \frac{\sqrt{3}mv^2}{qE} \] Since the x-component of the velocity is constant (no force in the x-direction): \[ x = v_x \cdot t \implies t = \frac{x}{v_x} = \frac{\frac{\sqrt{3}mv^2}{qE}}{v} = \frac{\sqrt{3}mv}{qE} \] ### Step 4: Analyze the motion in the y-direction at time \( t \) At time \( t \), the y-coordinate can be calculated using the kinematic equation: \[ y = v_y \cdot t + \frac{1}{2} a_y t^2 \] Substituting the values: \[ y = v\sqrt{3} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}mv}{qE} + \frac{1}{2} \left(-\frac{qE}{m}\right) \left(\frac{\sqrt{3}mv}{qE}\right)^2 \] Calculating each term: 1. The first term: \[ y_1 = v\sqrt{3} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}mv}{qE} = \frac{3mv^2}{qE} \] 2. The second term: \[ y_2 = \frac{1}{2} \left(-\frac{qE}{m}\right) \cdot \frac{3m^2v^2}{q^2E^2} = -\frac{3mv^2}{2qE} \] Combining both terms gives: \[ y = \frac{3mv^2}{qE} - \frac{3mv^2}{2qE} = \frac{3mv^2}{2qE} \] ### Step 5: Switch on the magnetic field When the magnetic field \( B \) is switched on, it acts along the positive y-axis. The velocity of the particle in the x-direction remains \( v \) (since there is no force acting in the x-direction). ### Step 6: Determine the circular motion in the magnetic field The magnetic force will cause the particle to move in a circular path. The radius \( R \) of the circular motion is given by: \[ R = \frac{mv}{|q|B} \] ### Step 7: Write the x-coordinate as a function of time The x-coordinate of the particle at any time \( t \) after the magnetic field is switched on can be expressed as: \[ x(t) = \frac{\sqrt{3}mv^2}{qE} + R \sin(\omega t) \] where \( \omega = \frac{|q|B}{m} \). ### Final Expression Thus, the x-coordinate of the particle as a function of time after the magnetic field is switched on is: \[ x(t) = \frac{\sqrt{3}mv^2}{qE} + \frac{mv}{|q|B} \sin\left(\frac{|q|B}{m} t\right) \]

To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the motion of the charged particle under the influence of the electric field and then the magnetic field. ### Step 1: Analyze the initial conditions The charged particle of mass \( m \) and charge \( -q \) is projected from the origin with speed \( 2v \) at an angle of \( 60^\circ \) with the positive x-axis. **Components of the initial velocity:** - The x-component of the velocity: \[ ...
