Moving Charges and Magnetism

Question:

A particle of charge –16 x 10–18 coulomb moving with velocity 10 ms–1 along the x-axis enters a region where a magnetic field of induction B is along the y-axis, and an electric field of magnitude 10 V/m is along the negative z-axis. If the charged particle continues moving along the x-axis, the magnitude of B is

Options:

10–3 Wb/m3

 103 Wb/m2

105 Wb/m2  

 1016 Wb/m2

Correct Answer:

 103 Wb/m2

Explanation:

We know that

            v = E/B  or B = E/v

            $B = \frac{10^4}{10} = 10^3 wb/m^2$
