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

The charged particle moving in a uniform magnetic field of \((3\hat{i} + 2\hat{j})\) T has an acceleration \(\left(4\hat{i} - \dfrac{x}{2}\hat{j}\right)\) m/s\(^2\). The value of \(x\) is __________.

  1. A 12
  2. B 24
  3. C 36
  4. D 48
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 12

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The magnetic force on a moving charged particle is given by \(\vec{F} = q(\vec{v} \times \vec{B})\). Since the acceleration \(\vec{a}\) is in the direction of the magnetic force, it must be perpendicular to the magnetic field \(\vec{B}\). Therefore, the dot product of…
