Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) 2
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Given:
Mass of the particle, \(m = 5 \text{ mg} = 5 \times 10^{-6} \text{ kg}\)
Charge, \(q = 5\pi \times 10^{-6} \text{ C}\)
Velocity, \(\vec{v} = (3\hat{i} + 2\hat{k}) \times 10^{-2} \text{ m/s}\)
Magnetic field, \(\vec{B} = 0.1\hat{k} \text{ Wb/m}^2\)
The velocity component parallel to the magnetic field is \(v_{\parallel} = 2 \times 10^{-2} \text{ m/s}\).
The time period of one revolution is given by:
\(T = \dfrac{2\pi m}{qB}\)
Substituting the given values:
\(T = \dfrac{2\pi \times 5 \times 10^{-6}}{5\pi \times 10^{-6} \times 0.1} = \dfrac{2}{0.1} = 20 \text{ s}\)
The time taken to complete \(5\) revolutions is:
\(t = 5T = 5 \times 20 = 100 \text{ s}\)
The distance moved along the \(\hat{k}\) direction (pitch for \(5\) revolutions) is:
\(\alpha = v_{\parallel} \times t\)
\(\alpha = 2 \times 10^{-2} \times 100 = 2 \text{ m}\)
