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

An electron moves through a uniform magnetic field \(\vec{B}=B_0 \hat{i}+2 B_0 \hat{j} T\). At a particular instant of time, the velocity of electron is \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{u}}=3 \hat{i}+5 \hat{j} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\). If the magnetic force acting on electron is \(\vec{F}=5 e\hat kN\), where \(e\) is the charge of electron, then the value of \(\mathrm{B}_0\) is _______\(\mathrm{T}\).

  1. A \(5\)
  2. B \(6\)
  3. C \(7\)
  4. D \(8\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(5\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\vec{F}=q(\vec{v} \times \vec{B})\) \(5 e \hat{k}=e(3 \hat{i}+5 \hat{j}) \times\left(B_0 \hat{i}+2 B_0 \hat{j}\right)\) \(5 e \hat{k}=e\left(6 B_0 \hat{k}-5 B_0 \hat{k}\right)\) \(\Rightarrow B_0=5 T\)
