A particle ( mass = m and charge = q ) is moving in a region in which there exists a uniform electric field `E vec( i ) ` and a uniform magnetic field `B hat (k) `. At t = 0 , the particle is at ( 0,a ) and is moving with `v hat(i) `. After some time, the particle is located at ( 2a, 0 ) and has a velocity `- 2 v hat( j ) ` , then which of the following is true ?

A

`E = (3)/( 2) (( mv^(2))/(qa))`

B

at the initial moment, the rate of work done by electric field is ` ( 3)/( 4) ((m v^(3))/( a))`

C

`E = ( 3)/( 8) ((mv^(2))/( qa))`

D

at the initial moment, the rate of work done by electric field is `( 3)/( 16) ((mv^(3))/( a ))`

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the motion of the charged particle in the presence of both electric and magnetic fields. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify Initial and Final Conditions**: - Initial position: \( (0, a) \) - Initial velocity: \( \vec{v_i} = v \hat{i} \) - Final position: \( (2a, 0) \) - Final velocity: \( \vec{v_f} = -2v \hat{j} \) 2. **Determine the Displacement**: - Displacement \( \Delta \vec{r} = \vec{r_f} - \vec{r_i} = (2a, 0) - (0, a) = (2a, -a) \). 3. **Calculate the Change in Kinetic Energy**: - Initial kinetic energy \( KE_i = \frac{1}{2} m v^2 \). - Final kinetic energy \( KE_f = \frac{1}{2} m (-2v)^2 = \frac{1}{2} m (4v^2) = 2mv^2 \). - Change in kinetic energy \( \Delta KE = KE_f - KE_i = 2mv^2 - \frac{1}{2} mv^2 = \frac{4mv^2}{2} - \frac{1}{2} mv^2 = \frac{3}{2} mv^2 \). 4. **Work Done by Electric Field**: - The work done by the electric field \( W = \Delta KE \). - Therefore, \( W = \frac{3}{2} mv^2 \). 5. **Relate Work Done to Electric Field**: - The work done by the electric field can also be expressed as \( W = qE \cdot \Delta \vec{r} \). - Since \( \Delta \vec{r} = (2a, -a) \) and \( \vec{E} = E \hat{i} \), we have: \[ W = qE \cdot (2a \hat{i} - a \hat{j}) = qE (2a). \] - Therefore, equating the two expressions for work done: \[ qE (2a) = \frac{3}{2} mv^2. \] - This gives us: \[ E = \frac{3mv^2}{2qa}. \] 6. **Calculate Power**: - Power \( P \) is given by \( P = \vec{F} \cdot \vec{v} \). - The force due to the electric field is \( \vec{F} = qE \hat{i} \). - The velocity \( \vec{v} = v \hat{i} \). - Therefore, the power is: \[ P = qE \cdot v = q \left(\frac{3mv^2}{2qa}\right) v = \frac{3mv^3}{2a}. \] ### Conclusion: The correct expression for the power is \( P = \frac{3}{2} \frac{mv^3}{a} \).
