JEE Advanced · Physics · 20. Magnetism & Current

In the xy - plane , the region y>0 has a uniform magnetic field B1k^ and the region y<0 has another uniform magnetic field B2k^. A positively charged particle is projected from the origin along the positive yaxis with speed v 0 =π m s 1 at t=0, as shown in the figure. Neglect gravity in this problem. Let t=T be the time when the particle crosses the xaxis from below for the first time. If B 2 =4 B 1, the average speed of the particle, in m s 1, along the xaxis in the time interval T is ________.

  1. A 2
  2. B 4
  3. C 6
  4. D 8

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Average speed along the \(\mathrm{x}\)-axis
\(\left(\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{x}}\right)=\frac{\int\left|\overrightarrow{\mathrm{V}}_{\mathrm{x}}\right| \mathrm{dt}}{\int \mathrm{dt}}=\frac{\mathrm{d}_1+\mathrm{d}_2}{\mathrm{t}_1+\mathrm{t}_2} \rightarrow(1)\)
We also have,
\(\begin{aligned}
&\mathrm{r}_1=\frac{\mathrm{mv}}{\mathrm{qB}_1}, \mathrm{r}_2=\frac{\mathrm{mv}}{\mathrm{qB} \mathrm{B}_2} \\
&\text { since } \mathrm{B}_1=\frac{\mathrm{B}_2}{4}
\end{aligned}\)
\(\therefore \mathrm{r}_1=4 \mathrm{r}_2 \rightarrow(2)\)
Time in \(B_1 \Rightarrow \frac{\pi B}{q B_1}=t_1\)
Time in \(\mathrm{B}_2 \Rightarrow \frac{\pi \mathrm{B}}{\mathrm{qB}_2}=\mathrm{t}_2\)
Total distance along \(\mathrm{x}\)-axis \(\mathrm{d}_1+\mathrm{d}_2=2 \mathrm{r}_1+2 \mathrm{r}_2=2\left(\mathrm{r}_1+\mathrm{r}_2\right)=2\left(5 \mathrm{r}_2\right)\)
Total time \(\mathrm{T}=\mathrm{t}_1+\mathrm{t}_2=5 \mathrm{t}_2\)
\(\therefore \text { Average speed }=\frac{10 \mathrm{r}_2}{5 \mathrm{t}_2}=2 \frac{\mathrm{mv}}{\mathrm{qB}_2} \times \frac{\mathrm{qB}_2}{\pi \mathrm{m}}=2\)
