JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 4. Moving charges and magnetism

\(1\,\mu\)C charge moving with velocity \(\vec{v} = \left(\hat{i} - 2\hat{j} + 3\hat{k}\right)\) m/s in the region of magnetic field \(\vec{B} = \left(2\hat{i} + 3\hat{j} - 5\hat{k}\right)\) T. The magnitude of force acting on it is \(\sqrt{\alpha} \times 10^{-6}\) N. The value of \(\alpha\) is _______.

  1. A 165
  2. B 168
  3. C 170
  4. D 171
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 171

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The magnetic force acting on a moving charge is given by \(\vec{F} = q(\vec{v} \times \vec{B})\). Given: \(q = 1 \, \mu\text{C} = 10^{-6} \text{ C}\) \(\vec{v} = \hat{i} - 2\hat{j} + 3\hat{k}\) \(\vec{B} = 2\hat{i} + 3\hat{j} - 5\hat{k}\) Calculating the cross product…
