The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the coordinates of the center of the circular path of a charged particle projected in a magnetic field. Let's go through the solution step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the scenario We have a charged particle with charge \(2q\) and mass \(m\) projected from the origin (0,0) in the XY plane with a velocity \(v\) at an angle of \(45^\circ\) with the positive X-axis. A uniform magnetic field \(B\) exists along the +Z axis. ### Step 2: Determine the magnetic force The magnetic force acting on the charged particle is given by the Lorentz force equation: \[ F = q(\mathbf{v} \times \mathbf{B}) \] For our case, substituting \(q = 2q\): \[ F = 2q(\mathbf{v} \times \mathbf{B}) \] Since the magnetic field is along the +Z direction, we can denote it as \(\mathbf{B} = B\hat{k}\). ### Step 3: Calculate the velocity components The velocity \(v\) can be broken down into its components: - \(v_x = v \cos(45^\circ) = \frac{v}{\sqrt{2}}\) - \(v_y = v \sin(45^\circ) = \frac{v}{\sqrt{2}}\) ### Step 4: Calculate the magnetic force Using the right-hand rule and the cross product, the force will be directed towards the center of the circular path. The magnitude of the magnetic force is: \[ F = 2q \cdot v \cdot B \] ### Step 5: Set up the centripetal force equation For circular motion, the magnetic force provides the necessary centripetal force: \[ F_c = \frac{mv^2}{r} \] Setting the magnetic force equal to the centripetal force: \[ 2qvB = \frac{mv^2}{r} \] ### Step 6: Solve for the radius \(r\) Rearranging the equation gives us: \[ r = \frac{mv}{2qB} \] ### Step 7: Find the coordinates of the center of the circular path The center of the circular path will be offset from the origin. Since the particle moves in a circular path, the center will lie along the line that bisects the angle of projection. The coordinates of the center can be determined using trigonometric functions: - The x-coordinate of the center will be \(r \cos(45^\circ)\) - The y-coordinate of the center will be \(r \sin(45^\circ)\) Substituting \(r\): \[ x = r \cos(45^\circ) = \frac{mv}{2qB} \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{mv}{2qB\sqrt{2}} \] \[ y = r \sin(45^\circ) = \frac{mv}{2qB} \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{mv}{2qB\sqrt{2}} \] Since the particle is moving in the negative y-direction, we take the y-coordinate as negative: \[ y = -\frac{mv}{2qB\sqrt{2}} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the coordinates of the center of the circular path are: \[ \left(\frac{mv}{2qB\sqrt{2}}, -\frac{mv}{2qB\sqrt{2}}, 0\right) \]
