The charged particle moving in a uniform magnetic field of T has an acceleration m/s. The value of is __________.
Correct answer
0
Step-by-step solution
The magnetic force on a moving charged particle is given by .
Since the acceleration is in the direction of the magnetic force, it must be perpendicular to the magnetic field .
Therefore, the dot product of acceleration and magnetic field is zero:
Substituting the given vectors:
\left(4\hat{i} - \dfrac{x}{2}\hat{j}\right) \cdot (3\hat{i} + 2\hat{j}) = 0(4)(3) + \left(-\dfrac{x}{2}\right)(2) = 012 - x = 0x = 1212
