Vedclass · Answer

(b) Electric field can deviate the path of the particle in the shown direction only when it is along negative $y$-direction. In the given options $\overrightarrow E $ is either zero or along $x$-direction. Hence it is the magnetic field which is really responsible for its curved path. Options $(a)$ and $(c)$ can&rsquo;t be accepted as the path will be helix in that case (when the velocity vector makes an angle other than $0&deg;$, $180&deg;$ or $90&deg;$ with the magnetic field, path is a helix) option $(d)$ is wrong because in that case component of net force on the particle also comes in $k$ direction which is not acceptable as the particle is moving in $x-y$ plane. Only in option $(b)$ the particle can move in $x-y$ plane.
In option $(d)$ : ${\overrightarrow F _{net}} = q\overrightarrow E + q(\overrightarrow v 	imes \overrightarrow B )$
Initial velocity is along $x$-direction. So let $\overrightarrow v = v\hat i$
 ${\overrightarrow F _{net}} = qa\hat i + q[(v\hat i) 	imes (c\hat k + b\hat j] = qa\hat i - qvc\hat j + qvb\hat k$
In option $(b)$ ${\overrightarrow F _{net}} = q(a\hat i) + q[(v\hat i) 	imes (c\hat k + a\overrightarrow i ) = qa\hat i - qvc\hat j$
