A particle is released from the origin with a velocity `vhate(i)`. The electric field in the region is `Ehate(i)` and magnetic field is `Bhat(k)`. Then

A

If `v=0 and E=0` then particle will execute a circular path.

B

If `v=0, E!=0` then particle is positively charged then it executes clockwise

C

If `v=0` and `E != 0` then the particle will execute a cycloidal motion in the x-y plane.

D

If `vgt0` and `E!= 0` and the particle is positievely charged and `Bgt0` then the particle wil excute anticlockwise anticlock wise circle as seen from +z direction.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C, D
if `v=0,E=0` then no force will act on particle, hence partcle remains at rest
(b) here `v=0, E!=0`, due to E the particle will gain velocity in x direction. Due to this velocity it will experience force due to magnetic field along negative y axis. As a result of it, the particle will move in curved path that will not be a circle.
(c) If `v=0,E!=0`, then particle will execute cycloidal motion.
(d) If `E=0`, then path will be circular.

A particle of charge q and mass m released from origin with velocity vec(v) = v_(0) hat(i) into a region of uniform electric and magnetic fields parallel to y-axis. i.e., vec(E) = E_(0) hat(j) and vec(B) = B_(0) hat(j) . Find out the position of the particle as a functions of time Strategy : Here vec(E) || vec(B) The electric field accelerates the particle in y-direction i.e., component of velocity goes on increasing with acceleration a_(y) = (F_(y))/(m) = (F_(e))/(m) = (qE_(0))/(m) The magnetic field rotates the particle in a circle in x-z plane (perpendicular to magnetic field) The resultant path of the particle is a helix with increasing pitch. Velocity of the particle at time t would be vec(v) (t) = v_(x) hat(i) + v_(y) hat(j) + v_(z) hat(k)

  • A positively charged particle is released from rest in a uniform electric field. The electric potential energy of the charge.

    A
    remains a constant because the electric field is uniform.
    B
    increases because the charge moves along the electric field.
    C
    decreases because the charge moves along the electric field.
    D
    decreases because the charge moves opposite to the electric field.
