A charged particle in a uniform magnetic field \(B=B_0 \hat{k}\) starts moving from the origin with velocity \(v=3 \hat{i}+4 \hat{k}\) m/s. The trajectory of the particle and the time \(t\) at which it reaches \(2 \mathrm{~m}\) above \(x-y\) plane are,

  1. A Circular path, \(\frac{1}{2}\) sec.
  2. B Helical path, \(\frac{1}{2}\) sec.
  3. C Circular path, \(\frac{2}{3}\) sec.
  4. D Helical path, \(\frac{2}{3}\) sec.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Helical path, \(\frac{1}{2}\) sec.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Hint : Velocity along z-direction will be const. \(\mathrm{t}=\frac{\mathrm{s}}{V_z}=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{sec}\) Path will be helical.
