The velocity and acceleration vectors of a particle moving in a magnetic field are given by: $\vec{v}=3 \hat{i}+4 \hat{j}$ and $\overrightarrow{a}=2 \hat{i}+\hat{j}$ respectively, Then: (A) the magnetic field is along z-direction Choose the correct answer from the options given below: |
(A), (B), (C) (C), (D), (E) (B), (C), (D) (A), (C), (E) |
(A), (C), (E) |
The correct answer is Option (4) → (A), (C), (E) (A) Since, the velocity in the x-y direction, and if the particle's motion is affected by the magnetic force, the magnetic field lines must be in +z direction. (C) Kinetic energy remains unchanged because the magnitude of velocity remains unchanged. (E) The velocity vector ($\vec v$) lies in the x-y plane, and the accelration vector also lies in x-y plane. Hence, the motion is in x-y plane. |
