4.Moving Charges and Magnetism
medium

The magnetic force acting on a charged particle of charge $-2\, \mu  C$ in a magnetic field of $2\, T$ acting in $y$ direction, when the particle velocity is $(2i + 3 j) \times  10^6\,\, m/s$ is

A

$4\,N$ in $ +z  $ direction

B

$8\,N$ in $ +y  $ direction

C

$8\,N$ in $ +z $ direction

D

$8\,N$ in $ - z$ direction

(AIPMT-2009)

Solution

Lorentz force $=q(\bar{v} \times \bar{B})$

${=\left(-2 \times 10^{-6}\right)\left[(2 \hat{i}+3 \hat{j}) \times 10^{6} \times 2 \hat{j}\right]=-8 \hat{k} \,\mathrm{N}} $

${=8\, \mathrm{N} \text { in }-\mathrm{z} \text { direction. }}$
