A charge particle is moving in a uniform magnetic field \((2 \hat{i}+3 \hat{j}) T\). If it has an acceleration of \((\alpha \hat{i}-4 \hat{j}) m / s ^{2}\), then the value of \(\alpha\) will be.

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(6\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

As \(\overrightarrow{ F }= q (\overrightarrow{ v } \times \overrightarrow{ B })\)

\(\overrightarrow{ a }=\frac{ q }{ m }(\overrightarrow{ v } \times \overrightarrow{ B })\)

So, \(\overrightarrow{ a }\,and\,\overrightarrow{ B }\) are \(\perp\) to each other

Hence, \(\vec{a} \cdot \vec{B}=0\)

\((\alpha \hat{i}-4 \hat{j}) \cdot(2 \hat{i}+3 \hat{j})=0\)

\(\alpha(2)+(-4)(3)=0\)

\(\alpha=\frac{12}{2} \Rightarrow \alpha=6\)
