A current carrying solenoid is placed vertically and a particle of mass m with charge Q is released from rest. The particle moves along the axis of solenoid. If g is acceleration due to gravity then the acceleration (a) of the charged particle will satisfy :
Options
- Aa>g
- B0 < a < g
- Ca=0
- Da=g
Correct answer
D. a=g
Step-by-step solution
Inside a solenoid, magnetic field B is uniform and parallel to the axis. Particle moves along the axis, so velocity v is parallel to B . Magnetic force F = Q( v B ) = 0 (since v B ) Only gravity acts on the particle. Acceleration a = g
