A light beam is described by $E=800 \sin \omega\left(t-\frac{x}{c}\right)$

An electron is allowed to move normal to the propagation of light beam with a speed of $3 \times 10^{7}\;{ms}^{-1}$. What is the maximum magnetic force exerted on the electron ?

A

$1.28 \times 10^{-18}\, {N}$

B

$1.28 \times 10^{-21}\, {N}$

C

$12.8 \times 10^{-17} \,{N}$

D

$12.8 \times 10^{-18} \,{N}$

(JEE MAIN-2021)

Solution

$\frac{{E}_{0}}{{C}}={B}_{0}$

${F}_{\max }={eB}_{0} {V}$

$=1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times \frac{800}{3 \times 10^{8}} \times 3 \times 10^{7}$

$=12.8 \times 10^{-18}\, {N}$
