In a vacuum chamber, a particle of charge and mass mg is projected with a velocity ms from the plane at time in an electric field of Vm. At s, the electric field is switched off and a magnetic field of T is switched on. The acceleration due to gravity is ms. Correct option(s) is/are:
Options
- AThe vertical distance of the particle from the plane at s is cm.
- BThe vertical distance of the particle from the plane at s is cm.
- CThe radius of the trajectory of the particle for s is cm.
- DThe particle will be in the plane at s.
Correct answer
A. The vertical distance of the particle from the plane at s is cm.
Step-by-step solution
For the time interval s, the particle is under the influence of the electric field and gravity.
The charge-to-mass ratio of the particle is C kg.
The acceleration of the particle is:
ms
Given the initial velocity ms and initial vertical position (since it is projected from the plane), we can find the velocity and position at s.
Velocity at s:
ms
Vertical position at s:
m cm
For s, the electric field is switched off and the magnetic field T is switched on. The magnetic force acts only in the plane because is along the -axis. The vertical motion is only affected by gravity.
Let be the time elapsed after the fields are switched. The initial vertical velocity for this phase is .
The vertical position as a function of is:
Evaluating the options:
At s ( s):
m cm. (Option A is correct)
At s ( s):
m cm. (Option B is incorrect)
At s ( s):
m . (Option D is incorrect)
For the radius of the trajectory for s, the particle moves in a helical path. The radius of the circular projection in the plane is determined by the velocity perpendicular to the magnetic field, ms.
m cm. (Option C is correct)
