4.Moving Charges and Magnetism
hard

An electron moves through a uniform magnetic field $\vec{B}=B_0 \hat{i}+2 B_0 \hat{j} T$. At a particular instant of time, the velocity of electron is $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{u}}=3 \hat{i}+5 \hat{j} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$. If the magnetic force acting on electron is $\vec{F}=5 e\hat kN$, where $e$ is the charge of electron, then the value of $\mathrm{B}_0$ is ____$\mathrm{T}$.

Solution

$\vec{F}=q(\vec{v} \times \vec{B})$

$5 e \hat{k}=e(3 \hat{i}+5 \hat{j}) \times\left(B_0 \hat{i}+2 B_0 \hat{j}\right)$

$5 e \hat{k}=e\left(6 B_0 \hat{k}-5 B_0 \hat{k}\right)$

$\Rightarrow B_0=5 T$
