The correct Answer is:
To find the magnetic field produced by a particle moving with a given velocity and creating an electrostatic field, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Given Quantities**: - Velocity of the particle: \(\vec{v} = \hat{i} + 3\hat{j}\) - Electrostatic field at the point: \(\vec{E} = 2\hat{k}\) 2. **Understand the Relationship**: - The magnetic field \(\vec{B}\) produced by a moving charge can be calculated using the formula: \[ \vec{B} = \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \cdot \frac{q \cdot \vec{v} \times \hat{r}}{r^2} \] - Here, \(\hat{r}\) is the unit vector pointing from the charge to the point where the field is measured, and \(r\) is the distance from the charge to that point. 3. **Determine the Unit Vector \(\hat{r}\)**: - Since the electrostatic field is given as \(2\hat{k}\), we can infer that the point where the electric field is measured is along the z-axis. Thus, the unit vector \(\hat{r}\) can be taken as \(\hat{k}\). 4. **Cross Product Calculation**: - Calculate the cross product \(\vec{v} \times \hat{r}\): \[ \vec{v} = \hat{i} + 3\hat{j}, \quad \hat{r} = \hat{k} \] \[ \vec{v} \times \hat{r} = (\hat{i} + 3\hat{j}) \times \hat{k} \] - Using the right-hand rule: \[ \hat{i} \times \hat{k} = -\hat{j}, \quad \hat{j} \times \hat{k} = \hat{i} \] \[ \vec{v} \times \hat{r} = \hat{i} \times \hat{k} + 3\hat{j} \times \hat{k} = -\hat{j} + 3\hat{i} = 3\hat{i} - \hat{j} \] 5. **Substituting into the Magnetic Field Formula**: - Substitute \(\vec{v} \times \hat{r}\) into the magnetic field formula: \[ \vec{B} = \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \cdot \frac{q (3\hat{i} - \hat{j})}{r^2} \] 6. **Using the Relationship Between \(\mu_0\), \(\epsilon_0\), and \(c\)**: - Recall that: \[ \frac{1}{c^2} = \mu_0 \epsilon_0 \] - Thus, we can express \(\mu_0\) in terms of \(\epsilon_0\) and \(c\). 7. **Final Expression for Magnetic Field**: - The magnetic field can be expressed as: \[ \vec{B} = \frac{\mu_0 q}{4\pi r^2} (3\hat{i} - \hat{j}) \] - After substituting the values and simplifying, we arrive at: \[ \vec{B} = \frac{6\hat{i} - 2\hat{j}}{c^2} \] ### Conclusion: The magnetic field produced at that point is: \[ \vec{B} = \frac{6\hat{i} - 2\hat{j}}{c^2} \]
