  • MCQ

A current carrying is placed vertically and a particle of mass m with charge Q is released from rest. The particle moves along the axis of solenoid. If \(g\) is acceleration due to gravity then the acceleration (a) of the charged particle will satisfy :

Pick an option to check your answer.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \( a = g \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Since the solenoid is placed vertically, the magnetic field inside the solenoid will be either along - y or + y axis.

⇒ Particle will gain velocity along -y axis.
\(\Rightarrow \quad \overrightarrow{ F }_{ B }= q (\overrightarrow{ v } \times \overrightarrow{ B })\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad \overrightarrow{ F }_{ B }=0\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad \overrightarrow{ F }_{\text {net }}= mg\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad a _{\text {net }}= g\)
