A particle of mass \(\mathrm{m}\) and charge \(\mathrm{q}\) travelling with a velocity \(v\) along the \(\mathrm{x}\)-axis enters a uniform electric field \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}}\) directed along the y-axis. What will be the trajectory of the particle?

  1. A Circular
  2. B Elliptical
  3. C Parabolic
  4. D Helical
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Parabolic

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\begin{aligned} & \text { } \mathrm{y}=\mathrm{ut}+\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{at}^2 \quad(\because \mathrm{u}=0) \\ & \mathrm{y}=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{at}^2 \\ & \mathrm{~F}=\mathrm{ma}=\mathrm{qE} \\ & \mathrm{a}=\frac{\mathrm{qE}}{\mathrm{m}} \\ & \mathrm{y}=\frac{1}{2}…
