A positively charge particle moving along `x`-axis with a certain velocity enters a uniform electric field directed along positively y-axis. Its

A

Vertical velocity changes but horizontal velocity remains constant

B

Horizontal velocity changes but vertical velocity remains constant

C

Both vertical and horizontal velocities change

D

Neither vertical nor horizontal velocity changes

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Since `a_y = (qE)/m`
`a_x =0`
`v_x` = constant.

A charged particle moves along positive y-axis with constant velocity in uniform electric and magnetic fields. Ilf magnetic fiedl is actig along positive x-axis, then, electric field should act along positive z-axis. Reason: To keep the charged particle undeviated the relation E=Bxxv must hold good.

A positively charged particle, having charge q, is accelerated by a potential difference V. This particle moving along the x-axis enters a region where an electric field E exists. The direction of the electric field is along positive y-axis. The electric field exists in the region bounded by the lines x=0 and x=a. Beyond the line x=a (i.e., in the region xgta ), there exists a magnetic field of strength B, directed along the positive y-axis. Find a. at which point does the particle meet the line x=a . b. the pitch of the helix formed after the particle enters the region xgea. (Mass of the particle is m.)
