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

A particle having charge \(10^{-9}\) C moving in \(x\)-\(y\) plane in fields of \(0.4\hat{j}\) N/C and \(4 \times 10^{-3} \hat{k}\) T experiences a force of \((4\hat{i} + 2\hat{j}) \times 10^{-10}\) N. The velocity of the particle at that instant is _______ m/s.

  1. A \(50\hat{i} + 100\hat{j}\)
  2. B \(100\hat{i} + 50\hat{j}\)
  3. C \(-50\hat{i} + 100\hat{j}\)
  4. D \(50\hat{i} - 100\hat{j}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(50\hat{i} + 100\hat{j}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The Lorentz force experienced by a charged particle is given by \(\vec{F} = q(\vec{E} + \vec{v} \times \vec{B})\). Given that the particle moves in the \(x\)-\(y\) plane, its velocity can be written as \(\vec{v} = v_x \hat{i} + v_y \hat{j}\). Substituting the given values into…
