The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we need to analyze the motion of a charged particle in an electric field and a magnetic field. Here’s how we can approach the problem: ### Step 1: Understand the Forces Acting on the Particle The particle of charge \( q \) and mass \( m \) is subjected to an electric field \( \vec{E} = E_0 \hat{i} \) and a magnetic field \( \vec{B} = B_0 \hat{i} \). The force acting on the particle due to the electric field is given by: \[ \vec{F}_E = q \vec{E} = q E_0 \hat{i} \] The magnetic force is given by: \[ \vec{F}_B = q \vec{v} \times \vec{B} \] Since the initial velocity \( \vec{v} = v_0 \hat{j} \) and the magnetic field is along \( \hat{i} \), we can calculate the magnetic force. ### Step 2: Calculate the Magnetic Force The magnetic force can be calculated as follows: \[ \vec{F}_B = q (v_0 \hat{j}) \times (B_0 \hat{i}) = q v_0 B_0 (\hat{j} \times \hat{i}) = -q v_0 B_0 \hat{k} \] Thus, the total force acting on the particle is: \[ \vec{F} = \vec{F}_E + \vec{F}_B = q E_0 \hat{i} - q v_0 B_0 \hat{k} \] ### Step 3: Write the Equation of Motion Using Newton's second law, we can write the equations of motion in the \( \hat{i} \), \( \hat{j} \), and \( \hat{k} \) directions. The acceleration \( \vec{a} \) can be expressed as: \[ m \frac{d\vec{v}}{dt} = \vec{F} \] This gives us: \[ m \frac{dv_x}{dt} = q E_0 \quad \text{(in the x-direction)} \] \[ m \frac{dv_y}{dt} = 0 \quad \text{(in the y-direction, no force)} \] \[ m \frac{dv_z}{dt} = -q v_0 B_0 \quad \text{(in the z-direction)} \] ### Step 4: Solve for Velocity Components From the equation in the \( x \)-direction: \[ \frac{dv_x}{dt} = \frac{q E_0}{m} \implies v_x = \frac{q E_0}{m} t + v_{0x} \] Since \( v_{0x} = 0 \), we have: \[ v_x = \frac{q E_0}{m} t \] In the \( y \)-direction, since there is no force, \( v_y = v_0 \). In the \( z \)-direction: \[ \frac{dv_z}{dt} = -\frac{q v_0 B_0}{m} \implies v_z = -\frac{q v_0 B_0}{m} t + v_{0z} \] Since \( v_{0z} = 0 \), we have: \[ v_z = -\frac{q v_0 B_0}{m} t \] ### Step 5: Calculate the Speed of the Particle The speed \( v \) of the particle is given by: \[ v = \sqrt{v_x^2 + v_y^2 + v_z^2} \] Substituting the values we found: \[ v = \sqrt{\left(\frac{q E_0}{m} t\right)^2 + (v_0)^2 + \left(-\frac{q v_0 B_0}{m} t\right)^2} \] This simplifies to: \[ v = \sqrt{\left(\frac{q E_0}{m} t\right)^2 + v_0^2 + \left(\frac{q v_0 B_0}{m} t\right)^2} \] ### Step 6: Set the Speed Equal to \( 2v_0 \) According to the problem, the speed becomes \( 2v_0 \) after time \( t \): \[ \sqrt{\left(\frac{q E_0}{m} t\right)^2 + v_0^2 + \left(\frac{q v_0 B_0}{m} t\right)^2} = 2v_0 \] Squaring both sides and simplifying will lead us to find \( x \). ### Step 7: Solve for \( x \) After simplifying the equation, we find that \( x = 3 \). ### Final Answer Thus, the value of \( x \) is: \[ \boxed{3} \]
