A particle having a mass of 10−2 kg10^{-2} \mathrm{~kg} carries a charge of 5×10−8C5 \times 10^{-8} \mathrm{C}. The particle is given an initial horizontal velocity of 105 ms−110^5 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1} in the presence of electric field E⃗\vec{E} and magnetic field B⃗\vec{B}. To keep the particle moving in a horizontal direction, it is necessary that (1) B⃗\vec{B} should be perpendicular to the direction of velocity and E⃗\vec{E} should be along the direction of velocity. (2) Both B⃗\vec{B} and E⃗\vec{E} should be along the direction of velocity. (3) Both B⃗\vec{B} and E⃗\vec{E} are mutually perpendicular and perpendicular to the direction of velocity. (4) B⃗\vec{B} should be along the direction of velocity and E⃗\vec{E} should be perpendicular to the direction of velocity. Which one of the following pairs of statements is possible?

Options

  1. A(1) and (3)
  2. B(3) and (4)
  3. C(2) and (3)
  4. D(2) and (4)

Correct answer

C. (2) and (3)

Step-by-step solution

Both B⃗\vec{B} and E⃗\vec{E} should be along the direction of velocity and both B⃗\vec{B} and E⃗\vec{E} are mutually perpendicular and perpendicular to the direction of velocity.
