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

A positive charge \('q'\) of mass \('m'\) is moving along the \(+ x\) axis. We wish to apply a uniform magnetic field \(B\) for time \(\Delta t\) so that the charge reverses its direction crossing the \(y\) axis at a distance \(d.\) Then

  1. A \(B\, = \,\frac{{mv}}{{qd}}\) and \(\Delta t\, = \,\frac{{\pi d}}{v}\)
  2. B \(B\, = \,\frac{{mv}}{{2qd}}\) and \(\Delta t\, = \,\frac{{\pi d}}{2v}\)
  3. C \(B\, = \,\frac{{2mv}}{{qd}}\) and \(\Delta t\, = \,\frac{{\pi d}}{2v}\)
  4. D \(B\, = \,\frac{{2mv}}{{qd}}\) and \(\Delta t\, = \,\frac{{\pi d}}{v}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(B\, = \,\frac{{2mv}}{{qd}}\) and \(\Delta t\, = \,\frac{{\pi d}}{2v}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The applied magnetic field provides the required centripetal force to the charge particle, so it can move in circular path of radius \(\frac{d}{2}\) \(\therefore \mathrm{Bqv}=\frac{\mathrm{mv}^{2}}{\mathrm{d} / 2}\) or, \(B = \frac{{2{\text{mv}}}}{{{\text{qd}}}}\) Time interval…
