4.Moving Charges and Magnetism
medium

The magnetic force acting on charged particle of charge $2\,\mu C$ in magnetic field of $2\, T$ acting in $y-$ direction , when the particle velocity is $\left( {2\hat i + 3\hat j} \right) \times {10^6}\,m{s^{ - 1}}$ is

A

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

B

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

C

$4\, N$ in $y-$ direction

D

$4\, N$ in $z-$ direction

(AIEEE-2012)

Solution

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

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

$=2 \times 4 \hat{k}=8 \,N$ in $Z$ -direction.
