NEET2009PhysicsMagnetic Effects of CurrentActual
The magnetic force acting on a charged particle of charge -2 C in a magnetic field of 2 ~T acting in y direction, when the particle velocity is (2 i +3 j ) 10^6 ~ms ⁻¹ is
Options
- A8 ~N in - z direction
- B4 ~N in z direction
- C8 ~N in y direction
- D8 ~N in z direction
Correct answer
A. 8 ~N in - z direction
Step-by-step solution
Key Idea: When a charge q moves with velocity v inside magnetic field of strength B , then force on charge is called magnetic Lorentz force. The magnetic Lorentz force is in the direction of vector v B aligned & Magnetic Lorentz force F =q( v B ) &=-2 10⁻⁶ [2 2 10^6 ] &=8 ~N along negative -axis aligned
